the bus is the type II.
the early ones (thru '71) had the same engine as the beetle (type I)(with some minor differences, in ways it was like the type III as well) they are often referred to as the type I or bug motor.
'72 model year (aug '71 up) had the pancake, type IV or porsche motor. different names for the same thing. (the 411 and the porsche 914 used it before the bus) these are type IV engines.
both are type II just 'cause it's in a bus. confused yet?
yeah, thesamba.com is a great site. also a good one, especially if you have the type IV engine, is shoptalkforums.com, part of aircooledtechnology.com
i had a few westies, they were great!
