I doubt that it is the most important thing for a Vanagon lover.
Not even close. My 84 vanagon is not worth much more than $1k. It's
hardly justifiable for a $9k (Beeny's) subi. I had no less fun from it
whenever I drove it to Yosemite over the summit of 10,000 feet.
A more powerful engine sure is nice. But if you want to convince me
to spend on a conversion for my 84 you are wasting time. There is no
money to be made out of my 84 for a conversion.
