Wouldn't Ben be giving up some significant horsepower with and air cooled motor? (Not to mention "real" heat in the passenger compartment, as well as a quieter engine and "better" fuel injection) Though I'm not sure you could call *any* horsepower a Vanagon has ever produced "significant"... :-) Brent Christensen '89 Syncro Westy "Klaus" '91 Taurus SHO (For Sale) '95 Cherokee Sport ----- Original Message ----- From: Ben Wampler To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 1999 9:15 PM Subject: converting watercooled vanagon to aircooled
Hello, If I where to come accross an eighties air-cooled vanagon motor, what modifications would have to be made to put it in an '85 van? It seems logical with all the problems with WC vans, but is it possible? -Ben |
