I just picked up an 87 vanagon gl with 30k on a new 2.1 engine that I'd
like to put in my 86 snycro that currently apparently has busted
cylinder head studs.

Anyone have a guesstimate on hours/cost for the switch? - I think the
switch is beyond my capabilities at this point, though I'd love to watch
the mechanic do it.
(and i wouldn't ask too many annoying questions!).
If I had the resources I'd have Karl throw a TDI in the syncro but I'm
still saving my pennies for that project.

cheers,

chris
