While looking for the '87 syncro yesterday, I made a u-turn after going the wrong way and just happened to see an '82 westy diesel. I talked to the owner for a little while, and it turns out that he's only the second owner. The diesel had been rebuilt by the first owner, but some bolt was left a bit loose leading to a crack in the camshaft. Anyway, the interior is in great shape, and the body is almost rust free. So, after skimming many posts about transplants, I'm looking for list wisdom about what engines can easily be dropped into the '82 diesel. This vanagon is certainly a prime candidate for this operation. If you have any sense of the cost involved in getting another engine, that would be helpful too. Thanks for the help. david
