Ken, I'm in California so, unfortunately, your kind offer won't help me much, but I would like some clarification as to when one would do this. It has probably come up on the list before, but, ignorant as I am, I was probably unclear on the concept. Does this engine work in all vanagons or would this only be an advantage for earlier models? If I was planning to do new heads and lots of other stuff to my '87 Syncro, would it make sense to do this? Or should I stick with the engine I have? Is there a clear explanation somewhere of which engines have been used as replacements in vanagons with the pros and cons of each? Jeanne Maly '87 Syncro Westie
