Hey folks,

I am Ryan a VW T3 owner from Malta. My van van is a 1985, panel van with a water cooled 1.6Diesel engine and a 4 speed gearbox. 

I wish to make my van go faster by either changing the engine or upgrade the gearbox to a 5 speed gearbox.

My question is : 

1. Will a Porsche 9024 5 speed gearbox fit in my van ? As I happened to have an extra Porsche 924 gearbox
2. What Golf engine bigger than mine would fit no issues ? 

Thanks guys !!

Well if yo fit the 924 box it will make your van a lot faster...Backwards... Unless you also turn the gearbox upside down.
