But, as Miguel recently stated quite emphatically, "nor does that have ANYTHING to do what this community is about!", right? We are all here to help each other.........the last time I found a syncro in a local pick-'n-pull, I let everyone know where it was and what was still left on it............... "Mike, Got get that trans & diff! If the tranny is in decent condition (i.e., not badly corroded), you can easily get $800 - $1000 for it. The front diffs go for $300 to $500 used. Time to eBay!

I know of a Syncro in an area junkyard. It's somewhat picked over. There's a complete, unmolested drivetrain/ suspension in it still. They quoted me $100 for the trans and $75 for the front diff yesterday (no warr). The 2.1 longblock is only missing one head right now. It's @ Henry's in Blackstone, Ma on the RI line. $2 entrance fee, you pull everything, they'll loan you a wheelbarrow to bring it out, cash only. I go there every now and then. They usually have 2 or 3 Vanagons.
