Roadcow was a Toyota 3TC (1.6 SOHC I-4) conversion originally.  When
Britt blew it up (ran it out of oil in Nebraska after towing a lagwagen
to South Carolina or some such) I believe he replaced the motor with a
later, larger one. 1.8?

Ron, the original constructor, may still be on list. Perhaps he'll add
the details. Fer sure he's on the Subaruvanagon list.  That's what he's
driving now. His website lives at: <http://www.roadcow.com>
