Yes you are quite right about the risks involved, I have to talk to the
owner about that. He would probably perfer me to do a turbodiesel swap but i
dont really have the time for it.
However,  he thinks that a diesel vanagon engine goes 300k miles, so he sees
it as a half of lifetime repair..... thats of course not a good starting
point.
Can anyone however advise me what is the eassiest and cheapest diesel engine
swap for this thing? a 1.9n/a? Maybe I have to give him options.

thanks
