Dave, I completely agree with you, but there is one unique situation where
you would be MUCH better off with a '60's vintage American V-8 engine in the
back of your Vanagon - if you travelled in Mexico or South America.  My
experience with "mechanicos" down there (at least in rural areas) is that
they can do wonders with a welding torch, coat hangers, and various nuts and
bolts.  That approach works well with an old Chevy V-8, but could definitely
be hazardous to a fuel-injected, Dijifant-complicated VW engine....  :-)
