Have you driven any well done engine conversion vanagons ?

some people fine the time invested to be very rewarding and a good place
to invest their energy.

not like it's some chore to get over with.

a very strong sense of satisfaction is quite available..
look how many people are doing or having done for them ...vanagon engine
conversions ...lots .
