        dunno... there are a few different blocks out there. Though
I can say that moving an I4 around with 2 people is 'easier' on me
than moving the waterboxer around with 2 people.

        In which van? How do you plan on mounting the engine?
In any event I don't really know the answer to this question - maybe
someone with a diesel or convertered van could make some measurements
and include tire size and other relavant info (though a before and
after on the same van would be easiest).

        Not in the setup sent to you. You _might_ be able to find
the pin outs for it (if they exist) and wire one in....
