Yeah, sure.  But there are plenty of mechanics who won't touch a stock
waterboxer.
I can't think of anything easier to R&R on the waterbox compared to a 2.3.
Heads are easier, water pump is easier, manifolds, etc.


I guess there are plenty of closed minded mechanics who wouln't touch a
conversion, but there are probably plenty that would.  How much reseach have
we done on this anyway?


Likewise, if I can build a conversion from the ground up, why would I take
it to a mechanic to change the alternator or timing belt anyway?
