Subject:mechanics in IL or IN for '87 Westy engine replacement
From:Jenny Fontaine
Date:Thu, 16 Jun 2005 12:13:35 -0500

Hi All,
I have been off the list for quite some time, since my "87 Westy blew her
engine.  Well, I finally have the money to replace the engine and was
looking for the Mechanics list that I had seen before affiliated with this
list.  If someone could point me in the right direction, I would appreciate
it.  I am looking for a mechanic in the Chicagoland area or Michigan City,
IN area ( where the van is currently in storage).  I plan to buy the engine
through Boston Bob.  Is that still the preferred vendor for engines?  I also
want to get the a/c fixed at the same time.  On average, how much does the
engine replacement and a/c conversion cost?

Additionally, could someone tell me how to change to digest format?  I saw
where it said "set digest mode" but forgot how to do it.

Thanks to any and all who respond.
