Parts are not significantly cheaper, and certainly not worth the hassles of having the wrong engine in the van. For instance, wouldn't the decrease in displacement mess up your fuel injection? I bet I could think of a dozen more reasons why you should *not* go down to 1.8 liters, but I'll start with that one. -David ============================================================================ David Schwarze '73 VW Safare Custom Camper (Da Boat) SAIC Comsystems, San Diego Calif.
