I believe Vgons need more power (surprise!), but have had my share of problems with the Chevy-V6 conversion of the V6anagon-- particularly with the clutch, which is not yet resolved. An all-VW solution bodes well for the future of the drivability of these otherwise-fine vans. Bill Kennedy has had good results from his Porsche conversions (right, Bill?), which are pretty much all-VW conversions. It would be nice to see if all-VW conversions have fewer problems than the (one) non-VW example I've had experience with. How much power/torque are the turbo-diesel engines rated at? _______ /\ o o o\ Steve Maher smaher@gi.com 75461,1717 /o \ o o o\_______ San Diego, California < >------> o /| \ o/ o /_____/o| '80 VW V6anagon \/______/ |oo| '66 Mustang Coupevertible | o |o/ '89 Son Sherwin |_______|/ http://www.wp.com/IrishMafia ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The economy's not failing-- there are plenty of jobs available!
