Hey, Ben, do you think the "standard" I-4 engine brackets (for the
Vanagon) can be used on the VR6?

I figure the VR6s have been around long enough that they should be
available in my local junkyard for reasonable prices. Of course, the
wiring is another issue. But, yeah, I'm considering putting a VR6 in to
my TriStar (doublecab) as well.
