Just my two cents worth....the swap that you make or don't make should be
largely dependent on what you are comfortable with.  A large number of us
spin our own wrenches, and thus have set opinions on what is and what is not
acceptable.  Robert comes from a VW flat four background, others appreciate
Japanese reliability with Vanagon character, others like the I4 and I5
VW/Audi motors, while still others like the grunt of a GM V6.  I guess to
make a long story short, there is no way that you can be at one with the
universe if you are not at one with your van.
