I do have to say that it does appear that these guys are doing a very
commendable job at making

sure that this conversion will be as good as it can be but I have to
add that, IMHO, I do not think that

any of the "Inline4s" are a proper engine for a Vanagon ~ They are set
up from the getgo for a flat well

balanced engine & that should be a leading criteria when one ponders a
conversion. The main issue that

I have with the Inline4s is that they place the vast majority of there
weight on the DriversSide where the

Drivers weight is already going to be & especially in the case of a
Westy where all the CamperCabinetry

& H2OTank & PropaneTank & possibly AuxBattery is already on that side,
that should become an even

bigger consideration.
