I have the ABA 2liter block with a crossflow head, mounted like the factory
diesel, using factory parts.  Digifant, uses almost all Vanagon parts.
Don't want anything else in my 84 tintop with a kitchen. Perfect for me,
this.  Simple, economical, powerful enough, easy to run as a daily
workhorse and shines as a backroad cross country commuter.

Worthwhile to try to find the stuff, or a diesel partout.  They're around,
and motors are really cheap and quite plentiful.
