In my air cooled days I had an engine in parts in the cupboards in my
kitchen of my apt, put it together on my kitchen table when I needed
it. FWIW I got out of the split window world when I wanted something
I could hang my arm out of.... That was my '71 (a great year for buses!).
My first Vanagon came along when I was in Hawaii looking in the paper
for someone selling an engine with heater boxes, I had a '79 (9 pass)
and was being transferred to Chicago. My plan was to get a gas heater
installed on the mainland, I saw an ad for an '86 Syncro and we took
a look. Turned out to be the right thing for that part of the midwest.
