Hello, i was wondering if anyone has ever considered swapping the motor
from a mazda mx-3 into a vanagon, for a while they produced that 2 liter
V6 motor which is very small, yet produces good power. I am not sure how
large it is, but going from the displacement, 2 liters should be about
the same in size as our flat 4's are already. true V6's do not have the
low profileness of the flat 4 and are taller, but with fuel injection and
whatnaught the heigth of engines can be reallllly lowered. Does KP make
an adapter plate for this engine? This engine, I know is very rare and
very limited, but if I were to swap a motor, i would want to try and swap
one of these.


Joe
