Forgive my bewilderment.  I am quite new to the Vanagon scene, but not so
new to the VW scene.  I don't quite understand many people's willingness to
put a non-VW engine in their Vanagons.  I understand you need more power.
Doesn't it make a lot more sense to stick with a VW-motor even if the
conversion takes a little more effort?  10 or 15 years from now our Vanagons
will be very sought after by collectors and I am sure the Subaru engines or
the Buick V-6 motors will not increase their worth.  After seeing countless
hacked-up split-window busses I fear the same fate awaits our Vanagons.


Now take it easy with the flames.
