Volkswagen Auto Group is the world's largest automobile manufacturing conglomerate, and has been in continuous production of numerous vehicles since before WW2.
However, broadly speaking, any Volkswagen has an 'Internal Combustion Engine' which is the same type of engine you will find in all automobiles that consume fuel. Over the years, they have made horizontally opposed air cooled engines, as well as water cooled gasoline and diesel inline and 'v' engines ranging in number of cylinders from 3 to 12.

The type I Beetle engine was used in the VW bus (with slight mods) from 1950 to 1971. In 1972, the bus received the new type IV engine, although certain counrties continued to use the type I Beetle motor. So yes. Check your flywheel to ensure it is the correct one.
