 Sounds like a complex problem for Syncros. I don't really want to 
 lower my engine toward those rocks in the road, there are implications
 for the bash rails, etc..  >>
  Hey Tom,
This may not be a problem for Syncros as the engine in a Syncro already sits
about 1.5 to 2  inches lower than in a normal Vanagon.
