Looks like your motor is most likely later than 83:

Anyways since I know very limited amounts about water-cooled vw here to site that maybe better suited to help you.

Also was VW still using the same number or the vin and chassis at the your van was made? I ask since the number doesn't seem to be a correct Vin which would be the easiest way to date the van.
Anyways if you don't want to disclose the vin check out this link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/vehicle_ide.
As well there are free vin decoders at the bottom.
Good Luck
