Couple of issues with Jake:

* too much of a chip on his shoulders
* too expensive and too much of a waiting list
* does NOT cater to Type 4 Vanagons

Finally, the 2 liter Type 4 is not the best aircooled engine to use for a Westfalia.  An aircooled 6 cylinder is (providing that it must remain aircooled).

But I "decided" (that is: never actually did it but thought I might go
this route) on a Jake Raby Massive Type 4 engione instead:

It may be worth looking into. Way more power than stock, way less
money than a 911.
