Subject:small car VW engine conversion

Hey there

What does anyone know of the Tacoma WA "Small Car" VW engine conversion
business? Their website (www.smallcar.com/vx.htm) offers an impressive 6
cylinder subaru engine conversion for a wooping $9,000-$12,000.

Where do they get off charging so much? Does anyone, or has anyone ever done
business with them especially this 3.3L SVX engine conversion? Are they
worth it? Why? How can someone face their friends and family after spending
$10,000 on an engine. I want to, but why sould I?

I have a hole in my 89 westy wasserboxer the size of a golfball, after only
60,000 on a rebuilt. I've had it with the wasserboxer and want to put in a
different engine. I want increased horsepower and improved gas mileage. Can
you suggest a conversion. Perhaps one that doesn't cost $12,000.

Thanks
Bryan
