No!  Please don't start this thread again....  argh!!!

Check the archives.  You'll find more than enough info about engine swaps,
opinions, reliability, etc.

Cheers,

Jeff

Subject: new engine for my 86 Westfalia

I am contemplating replacing my 2.1L WBX engine with either a 1.8L out of an
1989 Jetta or a 2.0L gas engine.  Any opinions on this choice?  Any
reliability concerns with either engine?  How about fuel economy?

Thanks - John
