Keep that Adventurewagen!  It is one of the premier camper conversions (I
just may be prejudiced, I've owned a few).  To keep the wife happy, have it
towed to a reputable shop and let them tell you what the engine needs.  An
engine conversion is nice to have, but expensive.  A mildly hopped up rebuild
may be your best investment for power with least expense.
