Added a can of head/block sealer and it's running better than when I bought
it 2 years ago.

Subject: Engine Change

I'm toying with the idea of replacing the 1.9 waterbox with another engine.
I have seen VW/Audi and Subaru engines, many years ago I had a book showing
how to put a chevy v-8 into a beatle (lot of work).

Can anyone tell me what type of engines are easily put into a vanagon body?
Without major changes to the frame. Supplier of adpter plates, motor mounts,
etc..
