I'm brand new to the list, so forgive me if this has been discussed recently. I have three 1.9 Wasserboxers, and all need--or soon will--engines. I determined over a year ago that I would swap for inline engines when I got time, probably 2.0 Audi 80s. But now I'm having second thoughts. I've spent many hours reading swap stories on the net, and they all seem outrageously expensive and complicated. Maybe I should stick with a fresh reman 1.9. The first project is an '85 that will be my wife/children's daily driver. Would you swap for an inline? If you were buying a reman 1.9, where would you shop? Also, are there any North American sources for Vanagon single cab bodies? Does anyone have experience converting a van to a single cab? I'm surely anxious to hear your opinions. Ranger Jim |
