Not a Chevy, but much more appropriate for a Vanagon, I just finished the
engine/transmission phase of my Project Vanagon. Last week marked the day
the Vincent passed the 1,000 mile mark since I replaced the 2.1 wbx with a
3.2 liter Porsche flat-6 and G50 5-speed.

Considering the scope of this undertaking, I was shocked, amazed, and
thrilled that we had no problems whatsoever in the first thousand miles. No
oil leaks, no smoke, no fires, and no nasty noises. I thought that for sure
something would go wrong! Yesterday we did a valve adjustment on him and I
hope to make it to the dyno sometime in the next few weeks.

Cheers,
Bruce
