It sounds like you're not aware of the Bostig / Zetec  engine conversion.
Just Google it.
I'd be glad to install one for a customer and see how they are.

Subject: 1985 Vanagon - Ford Focus Engine alternative

It's almost Friday - what is the consensus to date of the group installing
2000 ford focus engine into Vanagons?

Any ideas, links, info., articles, etc. would be appreciated!

Thanks
