that's an interesting way to get heat out of an air-cooled Porsche 911
engine .....
it says the front and rear  original heater cores were replaced with "oil
coolers and fed via themostatic control".

that's quite clever it it works well.
Would not have occured to me to do it that way.
and should one of those oil coolers/'heater cores' or hoses leak oil in the
cabin ....
that could be messy.
$ 7K for used 1984 Porsche 911 engine ........yikes !

But it's not even a Westy !
I like that style of wheel for some reason.
muffler sure sticks out there.
3.2 liters of 6 cylinder Porsche power ....
that should deliver some real decent power for a vanagon, I must say.
