You could buy my 2.1 Boston Bob motor with 1,000 miles on it.

Went to Subaru 3.3, so now it just sits, gathering dust in the garage.

************************

I feel I am at an impasse regarding the replacement of the engine my
syncro westy. I am definitely on a pretty tight budget (under4000) but
don't want to cut corners that will only cost me money later. I have
have spent the last month researching options. I have narrowed it down
to three choices and I would love to have the opinions of this board.

1) rebuilt wbx motor, I know bus depot has them available but I am
unsure about their rebuilder even after speaking with them on the
phone. I can't get Boston Bob to return my phone calls soo... cost
1800-2800 plus my labor

2) used 2.2, smallcar parts kit. I have a neighbor with a 92 legacy
that could part out to save some money, but I am nervous about the
wiring part even though I have some experience in that area. cost
2450-3450 plus my labor, minus what I could part out the legacy wagon
for.

3) used 2wd vanagon with a 2.2 conversion already in place that I
could then part out and recoup some of my money. This seems to be my
best option as I could drive the van and could make sure all the parts
work together and who doesn't need more spare parts around? cost
3000-3500

Let me know what you think.
