Well, its official.  The 2.3 turbo Ford motor conversion is dead.  I pulled
the motor and adapter plate out of the Vanagon Sunday.  That was the most
attention the poor vanagon has seen in the past year or two.  Some kid in
Utah is putting it in his baha bug.  That should be interesting.
Thanks to whoever suggested FowardAir for cheap shipping.  They definetly
are the way to go if you live by a major city.
The 2.3 motor is not the smoothest, and 175-200hp would kill trannys anyway.

So now what?  Probably the 2.0 Audi motor sitting in the garage.
I will update the list when and if any progress is made in the new
conversion.  May even update the site.
