I had a feeling it has the same size beetle torsions because the rear end dropped 3" when i installed the motor and i can get the backend hopping with one hand. it is a common thing with the type 3 guys to stuff squareback torsion bars into them so that makes sense.

get the whole torsion housing from a square if you can,
as they had some stout bracing on the housing to beef them up,
compared to fast/notch...

Oh, and weld some IRS brackets on it,
like they did in last months HotVWs rag...
That way you can run the early (not hard to find) front mount.
Still use the horns and bellhousing mounts (and kafer bar?).
Plus, if you want it shout, and quiet, get the rear late-style engine hangers from the IRS T3, and mod the T4 hanger to work with them.
(the rubber on the T4 hanger will need converted to solid - the ones at the case)

Damn,
I got to get a build thread going....
