I have recently been given a 1970cc vw type 4 that a friend removed from a '79 vw bus. I have been doing a lot of reading about whether or not this engine will be appropriate for my air camper.

I did not build this airframe, rather I bought it for a song out of a barn where it had languished since 1981, which is tha last time that a flight entry was made in the logbook. It originally had a 65 continental, but it was long gone by the time I discovered the aircraft and sold my car to my ex to generate the funds, (half of what the car was worth, but her check worked).

I have gotten differing opinions about whether or not this will suffice, either with or without redrive. Could some of you guys give me some of your learned advice?
