I inquired of the cost of the VW I-4 converstion from Tiico last month.
Here's how they responded, with my origional questions to them below their

Hi Alan,
Thank you for your interest in the conversion kit approved by VW South
Africa. The price for your 1988 Vanagon is $3875.00 ($3681.00 for the month
of July) plus freight from Houston. Please add $100.00 if you have
automatic transmission. The oxygen sensor wiring is not incorporated into
our wiring harness. We do not require the core return. Please do not
hesitate if there are any questions I can answer for you.
Kind Regards,
Peter B.

has caught my interest.
Knowing I'll be needing a new engine sooner or later, there are questions
two questions I did not see addressed on your web pages.
1) Will the conversion kit work on a automatic transmission? Any
additional parts required to make it work?
2) Has the wiring harness supplied as part of the kit been upgraded to
include the oxygen sensor? Or is that something that needs to be modified
upon installation?
3) And finally, what is the cost of the conversion kit? Is the 2.1L WBX
expected as a core?
Thank you for your time.

>Have you considered the TIICO conversion?
I tried earlier to post this question to the list, but I believe it did not
go through. If you get two similar posts, I apologize.
Does anyone know the price of this conversion. Their office is closed for
vacation, and I'd like to know how the cost compares to others, especially
the Subaru swap.
Thanks,
