My mother had a SVX from 92 (year she bought it) till just a year ago she
went german and purchased a C280.  Great car the SVX, but can not even begin
to imagine all the electrical nightmares you would have to go through to get
the thing in a Vanagon.

If someone winds up doing it and need the engine manuals, my father has the
FULL factory set.  Its like 4 or 5 books about 10inches tall stacked.  Cost
like 700 bucks from the factory (and my dad did not pay near that) so sure he
would part with them cheap if someone could use them.   Let me know.....
