Folks,

Soon I will may be deciding which engine to put in a 90 Syncro Westy.

Been following the Eurocars Engine thread with  great interest.

Would welcome input and debate on the Eurocars 2.2L engine vs one of Boston
Engines 2.1l engines.

For various on the road ease of service issues I have decided not to go with
Golf / Jetta / Subie etc (pls No Flames).

Which would you choose Eurcar or Boston Engine?

If Boston Engine ... which one?
