| Date: | Mon, 25 Apr 2005 12:25:06 -0400 |
I checked through the archives briefly thinking that this topic must have
come up in the past, but I am looking to replace my 82 air-cooled engine
(3rd!) with something else.
As I see it, I have three alternatives:
1) Re-engineered air-cooled (bored out, new cam, etc)
2) Vanagon water-cooled engine
3) Subaru
I have two questions to help me make my choice.
1) What problems should I expect in putting in the radiator? I
understand the '82 bocy style had a water-cooled option and therefore would
make it tedious but not impossible
2) Are there any re-build options to make the air-cooled engine last?
thanks!
