John, Do you really want to change to an aircooled engine? You will get a lousy heater! And a Vanagon aircooled will be a step backwards. If you want to get more power, try converting to a AUDI 5 Cyl. or, if you like to have a 6 Cyl., Oettinger offers a watercooled engine with only 140PS. I heard about an conversion to the Volkswagen VR6 but not of a kit for this. Helmut '80 Camper ---------- >From: jmatchet To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: PORCHE or Aircooled CONVERSION for 91 V Date: Monday, 20 Jan, 1997 3:00 My 91 Vanagon Carat 2.1 Seized up.... We are thinking about a conversion to a Porsche 6 cyl or and Aircooled Bus engine. What sort of conversions make sense and have been done... are there any "kits" for this. Thanks in advanced. John
