Why on earth would I want to put a Subaru engine in my Vanagon?  I can have
everything it offers, and so much more, by using VW parts.

It's a rhetorical question.  No need to answer.

why?  hmmm   reliability?     what does the leaky vw wasserpisser offer?
headaches and a empty wallet...and so much more (headaches)  :<)
it is rhetorical.. the subaru engine is a smarter choice..   if you can do
