We have had a few customers use the G60 motor with great success with our
mounting kit and the 50 degree Diesel parts.  Nice motor, but be wary of the
supercharger - they last about 60,000 miles and pack it in at about $1000
USD a pop!

Subject: G60 Corrado engine in a Vanagon? Can it be done?


Subject says it all.  I have a chance at a G60 Corrado (wrecked with good
engine) and thinking about a conversion for the lumpy '89.  Anybody know if
this is the same type of block as the inline 4 cylinder engines that are
used for vanagon conversions?  Mounting angles?

Thanks,
JB
