Just thought it was funny calling a v-6 a small block.  This term is usually
reserved for v-8's.  I am considering a ford 2.3 for my vanagon based soley
on economics.  The ideal conversion is to get diesel vanagon parts and
install a golf/jetta motor.  If gas is pricey where you live, plug in a
turbo diesel.
