Roger, There are definitely 1.8's inside vanagons out on the road...but for maybe just a touch more money (not much), I'm sure you could come across a 2.2 with the same to half the mileage. The 2.2 is one heck of an engine - and a perfect fit for the vanagon, as I'm sure you are aware. With the Japanese import market on the East and West coasts, anyone in those areas can pick up a motor for pretty cheap. The Subie mechanics around here all swear by the 2.2 (1994-1999). Most durable Subaru engine out on the road....and there are a lot of em around here. -Ben
