Drawbacks:

The Bus had an oil filler and dipstick sticking out the rear (front in a 914) of the engine. Hits our firewall. Gotta block off the hole, and put our filler and dipstick in. Requires drilling for the dipstick tube.

The Bus made 67 HP stock. Milder cam, low-low compression pistons.

The late-late Buses had "square port" heads, and our exhausts don't fit.

The 2.0 Buses had the smallest valves of any Type IV motor.

Other than that, not very many problems...
