...which means you need to avoid it. To begin with, the 2000cc Type IV
is already bored and stroked out to within an inch of its life, by
Volkswagenwerk AG. I live in a valley, which means that alot of
(incredibly naive) local VW owners love to bore/stroke their engines

Not very well, due to the stuff in the back. Too many closets. I'd go
for a window van; I almost bought an '81 from a guy who used to haul

Sam
