I have an '85 Vanagon with ~200,000 miles on it that finally (I'm not
complaining, mind you) needs a new engine.  Actually, it only "really"
needs a new right side head, but at this mileage why screw around?  I
would
appreciate recommendations regarding suppliers of replacement 2.1
longblock
engines.  The dealer wants $2600 for an engine (uninstalled) and I have
seen prices ranging from ~$1,600-1,800 (plus core charges of $400 to $600)
from various other suppliers.  I've swapped out a few engines myself in
the
past (albeit on BMWs) and think I'll tackle the labor myself.  But I want
to assure myself that I'm getting the best available materials.
Suggestions, please!
