 If a Vanagon, are the parts available to convert a waterboxer van to a 5
 cylinder?  I assume this is the venerable audi 5 cylinder.

new SA vans are rear engine "Vanagon" style vans.
see them at:

as far as swappin the lame waterboxer for the more reliable audi engine, yes,
you can do it with a SA bellhousing...i just wanted to know if they offered
the automatics too.
i'm thinkin about putting an audi turbo 5 into my '84 van which is an
automatic, and need to know if i can get a 5cyl bellhousing for a automatic.
