You need to remove the head on the side where the bad rod is. Just unbolt it and pull it off. It will be in the pushrod tube. It is recommended that you replace the pushrod tube seals when you do this, because when the head is taken off, the old seals may break or not seal as well if it's been a while since they've been changed. Personally, if I were to replace a rod, I would replace all rods, tubes and seals. It's relatively inexpensive and can take care of any developing oil leaks from there. When you reattach the head, make sure you follow the proper torque pattern and tightening specs.

Engine case? The engine for the 78 bus is what is referred to as the Type 4 engine, which is vastly different from the Type 1 engine case used stock in the 1966 bug.It would require a lot of fabrication to fit this Type 4 engine in a Type 1 Beetle, but it has been done.
