Subject:Westy with 4.3L V6 and Audi 5k trans in Victoria..

Ran into an interesting Westy at the Victoria Home Depot this morning. I
noticed dual straight exhaust, and had to go have a look... Peering
beneath I noticed not an engine, but a transmission at the rear! A moment
later, the owner came out, and I spoke with him about his transplant - a
Chev 4.3 V6 and an Audi 5000 trans. I had heard of both of these used in
Vanagons before, but not together.
The van was about an '85 I'd say, blue with black touch ups, and a very
nice tubular steel front bumper with front hitch, for those locals who may
have seen this one around...
