<DIV></DIV>&gt;I think patience is your key here.
<DIV></DIV>&gt;I've seen 2.1 Waser boxer engines come up for sale on the list and just
<DIV></DIV>&gt;recently saw one on
<DIV></DIV>&gt;http://www.strictlyvwauctions.com/cgi-bin/auction/auction.cgi?action=inde
<DIV></DIV>&gt;x
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Take your time and wait it out.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; I have an '85 Vanagon GL &amp; the engine recently blew and it
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; needs
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; replacing. The guy doing the work for me is having trouble locating
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; a
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; replacement, either used or new/rebuilt. He suggested GEX and I said
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; forget
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; that...too much bad news about them. We also discussed going the
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Subaru
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; engine route.
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; I need help and advise, which engine should I use and/or
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; where would
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; you suggest finding a good engine?
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt;
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; TIA,
