Check out this: http://www.members.shaw.ca/bilbo/survey.html A really useful survey of I4 installs showing costs type of install etc. Some more VW I4 info from the same site: http://members.shaw.ca/albell/vanagon.html This is also a good primer though it is an install of a gas engine into a Diesel Vanagon (much easier): http://volksweb.relitech.com/vanagon.htm I also started a VW gas I4 site, (for "home brew" type installs of VW/Audi gas I4 engines): http://groups.google.com/group/vanagons-with-vw-inline-4-cylinder-gas-engines?lnk=sg The process can be a really involved if you do a DIY "home brew" ( you gather the needed parts) or pretty straightforward if doing a DIY kit.
