<<    I either need some advice or some sympathy. I have a '93 Eurovan; the
"top end" of the 5-cyl engine is shot and the differential bearing in the
5-spd tranny is wearing out.  Can I fit a used VR6 from a wrecked Audi into
it or should I just get someone to do a ring job on the 5-cyl?  Also what
about the tranny - rebuild it, buy a new one or repace it with a automatic?

    I think I have a few months before anything is going to drop out but I
need to start thinking about what my options are.  Thanks for any advice.

Russell,
You should check the EV_Update mailing list on egroups.  You will likely get
some better replies if you post there.

I don't think you could wedge a VR6 into a 5 cylinder EV.  The '96 and up
models have them, but they made the nose longer to fit it in.  You may be
able to stick a used Audi 5 in there.
