I saw one up on the Samba list a while back. You may have to scroll through the various pages to find it, although a search may get you there too. I would be very wary about putting a Tiico in my van. You probably are aware the company is out of business and parts are scarce. To my understanding this was a South African engine brought into the US, and it was never a great engine transplant to begin with. Lots of vibration problems reported and nightmare after nightmare problems. Personally, I would put extra money into a Subaru conversion or one of the Ford Zetec conversions. I have the Subaru 2.2 in my 89 westy, and drive an outback as my daily drive (2.5). Both have been totally reliable, solid engines. No regrets whatsoever and going through Alaska winters, year after year with this things have proven their dependability. Good luck with whatever you decide, Troy
