Hello  Robyn ,

<< You are really pushing my buttons with this engine!  It's sounds absolutely
 amazing.  After spending the weekend slowing to 50 to go up hills in
 Nebraska, I would love it.
Ok I've only a 2.2 l with a OE German upgradet camshaft.
I think we talk about 135 hp and this engine take of like crasy.
Yesterday we had to make a trip over a Pass with 1500 feet evelation.
I drove the Vanagon the whole time with around 80 miles/hour even
on the steep hill we didn't  slow down,I only had to push the gas padal a
little
bit more .With this speed we had 21 miles /gallon and the engine is not broken
in.

The 2.6 l is a long strocker with more torque in the lower end and in the set
up what
I offer with something around 150 hp.
An smal upgrade with an different camshat
will bring 160+ hp.(To much you never need it).
I wouldt love to have some ,but it makes no sence because I have our own
Vanagon as an demonstrater and I don't know how long this offer is valid.
So if I have an engine like this in my demonstrater
but have to tell the customer I'm sorry but this engine cost now
US$ 5000 because I have to built it .That make no sence,so I stay with the 2.2
upgrade.


 I am making a couple of assumptions here:
         includes power steering
         includes ac
This is absolutly no problem because every thing comes with the donor car.
You will need an Audi 5000 N/A .Here in the Bay area you will find a Audi for
US$800
but I think there where you live it will be cheaper.You can take any junker or
any damageCar
as long the Engine runns.
THE DEAL INCLUDES EVERY THING EXEPT THE DONOR-----
I NEED THE ORDER , 50 % DOWN(US$3750) , THE VANAGON , AND THE DONOR .
 AFTER APPRX. 4 WEEKS YOU CAN PICK UP THE MEAN VANAGON AND PAY ONLY FINAL US$
3750.

This offer is limited ,there are only a few engines and I sacriffy a part of
my labor.
I like to have people to get the 5 Cyl. kit and report about it.

Sincerely Dtelev
