Subject:New Vanagon for me? maybe?
From:Donald Baxter

After ten years with my trusty '85...  and even though it's
mechanically pretty good--it's pretty banged up and now that I live in
Iowa--starting to rust.  She's got 218,000 miles, new engine at
140,000 miles (factory remanunfactured 1.9L)  I've been keeping my eye
out for a prettier one

I've bid on and won this:

Think it will make it from Chicago back to Iowa City this weekend?

I'm wondering if i should translplant my 1.9L into this 2.1L.  I've
noted on the list that some think that the 1.9 is a more reliable
engine (and of course, I know exactly how my engine has been
maintained).
