Volks, John Ranney, Vanagon Rescue Squad Member, Vanagon owner and Shop owner of European Auto Tech in Tucson, AZ has a couple of things for sale on eBay that might be of interest. John just pulled his orginal 2.1L Waterboxer engine & auto tranny to prepared for a Subie 3.3 install. I'm very familiar with this Van and had the pleasure borrowing it for a week while the Roadhaus was in for repair. Felt honored as John doesn't lend his baby to anyone, so I was a nervious wreck and couldn't wait to get it back to him. This is a low milage, strong Van and in almost showroom condition. The engine and Tranny are incrediblyl strong and quiet with 77,418 original miles and the engine had head gaskets done ~3000 miles ago. If someone is looking for a strong engine or auto tranny, these are worth checking out. Maybe even more important, after many more miles of use, you would have a really sold well maintained core that would make a great rebuild candidate.
Good cores are getting hard to come by.
