The mechanic who did my conversion is helping another guy who wants to
put a 1.8/2.0 jetta engine into his van.  He wanted my extra diesel
Vanagon pieces.  We starting talking of what it would take to "git 'er
done".  It seems a good plan for someone who wanted a cheap, reliable,
easy conversion and simple "all VW" solution.  I heard some people
boasting of 20/22 MPG with their inline-4 cylinder VW engine
conversion.  I did consider it, but opted for the 29MPG turbo diesel
with the VW factory eco-diesel fuel pump.  I have yet to see what my
MPG is with my new taller 3rd and 4th gears!  Thanks to Daryl at AA
Transmission for a great tranny rebuild and great customer service at
a reasonable price.
