Some of the younger kids I know here in So Cal are real savvy with the small
Japanese engines from Hondas and Toyotas. Apparently these engines are
readily available at low price (like 200-400 USD). Has anyone tried putting
these small Japanese engines into their Vanagons? They seem about right in
terms of size and output. I know that Subaru engines are the engines of
choice but they are not as easily found. The question I am really asking is:
What is the absolute cheapest way to go when my stock 2.1 WBX with about
150K gives up soon?
