Hi Dave,
I have had my eye on your products. I have some questions and
concerns. Does your engine adapter come with a flywheel. Mine is missing.
I bought this Van without a motor. My engine support for the rear is
also missing. How does your support work? I have my eye on a 1.8 1986
engine for free. I know this is not the best engine, but the price is
right. If I should want to go to a 2.0 in the future would I have to
replace the adapter, flywheel again? Last, What would the importing
fees cost with shipping to get these parts, (adaptor and rear support)
on my door step..... Did I mention I want to install the engine at it's
original 15 deg angle?
