I am contemplating a preventative engine transplant on my '84 Vanagon with
1.9L engine (most likely original engine that has had a head gasket
replacement).  Right now everything is fine, but I am reluctant to drive it
more than 100 miles from home lest I have a engine failure.  If I do the
transplant, I want to have as much new as possible in the engine
compartment.  I know that some transplants leave you with a long block and
you need to supply the rest (injectors, etc.)  I have asked a couple of the
list vendors involved for a list of "the rest" , but none have supplied me
with sufficient information to make up a serious parts list.

I would appreciate some help on this.  I am targeting a May-June time frame
for the transplant as I know that I need a new A/C compressor and mounting
bracket.
