The idea of a V8 in a Vanagon is ridiculous ! Why not a Pratt & Whitney from a 747 ? The Vanagon does not have the brakes, steering or suspension for such a conversion. We'd be better off discussing "personal experience" conversions of "bread & butter" powerplants that are doable, affordable and realistic. Leave the V8 conversions for the "mental patients" in the hotrod VW magazines !
