Wow, after reading this no wonder so many Vanagons have undergone engine conversions...

Dreams can come true it can happen to you But Finding a good used 1.9 head OEM wont happen You are much better off with the AMC head if its is a 1.9 head The OEM castings are so poor that they crack and recrack never mind the pitting have the AMC head looked over and see if its fixable. Most AMC heads fail at the stem not the valve seat and they never crack to the point that they leak coolant into the exhaust or intake ports send it to me and I can inspect, rebuild and send it back ready to rock and roll
