<< why not? if you use a aircooled vanagon engine AND tranny, this might work.. of course, you wouldnt have any heat, unless you ran a center heater tube up to the dash (which on most of the earlier wbx, the metal was still cut to allow this, as well as the indented gas tank for the htr tube) i dont see what the benefit of doing this conversion would be, other than no leaky head gaskets, but engine life would be (usually) less.

chris >> I didn't mean it wasn't possible just against the law and not a good idea if it wasn't. Like putting an aircooled engine in a New Beetle. Ken Wilford Van-Again John 3:16
