My Dad loves those cars. Swears he's getting over 30 mpg all the time - he puts in a lot of miles every year. He keeps a lookout and buys them whenever there's a good deal, like $800 for the whole car. Gives them to whichever of his grandkids is needing a car, or whatever. If the sedan gets 30+, what would a Vanagon get? :) Matt
-----Original Message----- From: Robert Young Subject: Buick V6 powered Vanagon My neighbor in NC had a Buick V6 in his Vanagon and it was a pretty clean installation. I know the engines are everywhere and pretty low priced. And I know Keh has the adapter. The only down side (that I know of) is that it sticks up and the engine lid has to be modified. Robert |
