My wife and I own an '82 Air-Cooled Gasoline-powered Westfalia Vanagon.

It currently has a rebuilt original engine which, I assume, might last
us another 100,000 - 200,000KM.  When the time comes and all
compression is lost and rebuilding it for the second time just doesn't
make sense, is it possible to transplant a new engine into an air-
cooled? I hear talk of Porche, Subaru, and VW Jetta engines being
transplanted to Vanagons, but are these not all liquid cooled?  What
type of engine can be put into an air-cooled body? Does the Vanagon
need to be modified to be liquid-cooled? Or do engines still exist
that can operate as air-cooled?

Just curious - hopefully this doesn't need to happen for several more
years.

Thanks!
