We currently consider to replace our 140k miles engine and automatic tranny
(2.1l waterboxer for �87 Westy) with a rebuild powertrain. I have been
talking to Boston Bob already, however to make an educated decision I would be glad
to receive information and hints about alternative options. Is it e.g.
possible to purchase a rebuild powertrain from VW of America or a VW dealership?
Is there any place/shop/dealer/garage in reasonable distance from Detroit who
would even do the removal and installation? Furthermore I am open for any
offers for such powertrain, including the necessary replacement work or not.
Finally - is it possible to install a Diesel instead? Have Diesels ever been
sold in the U.S. and could I get the necessary permits for those (emission
standards etc.)? Could I get a rebuild Diesel in exchange for a gas engine?
Thanks, cheers
