I just finished this conversion. I used a 1.7L block, 2.0L crank and rods, 1.8L heads, 94MM pistons and cylinders for 2.0L vw bus, Scat cam, 009 Distributor and dual Webber 44s. I have abut 200 miles on it and runs like a champ. I figured compression around 7.5-1 and figure about 100 HP. Found that the red book on vw engine rebuilding to be useful. Only change I found is that after lining up timing marks on crank and camgear you then rotate it to TDC on the #1 Cyl to install the distributor on TDC.
Timing marks will not line up with case parting line after tdc is set in distributor.
Good luck!


P.S. If buying new, use the euro spec pistons. I used the bus pistions because I bought a new set on ebay for $80. My Budget would not stand the $400 plus price tag! A set of 96MM may be cheaper.
