hi volks,

i vote for the in-line engines (golf, gti, etc) that seem to be
everywhere as a viable swap option. they're proven, plentiful, and offer
loads of high performance options not available with the wasserboxer.
these are the engines being used in the south/central american bay
window busses i saw in guatemala. i know at least two listmembers (erik
o and limbo jim) have diesel conversions and seem happy with them, and
enjoying much better mileage than any wasserboxer i've seen! like around
22-23mpg in a westy! also, it's a vw engine. just my 0.02...
