Listees,

  Well it is finally here.  The 2.0 engine conversion I've been talking
about is to be released!

  European Car has the article and I'm to have the first 5 kits as of
Aug 15th.  I have a LONG list of people that want this engine installed
into their vans and as I understand Eurospec wants to keep COMPLETE
control over the installs of these engines for the first 6 months or so.

  They have a HUGE amount of money tied up in this project and to
protect their investment they're controlling  the direction that each
and every kit goes until they have a number of units on the road.

  The reason behind this is that if there's any problem  with one of
these units it will be much easier to handle any/all warranty issues
that "may" arise.

  I've yet to see the article but I've personally driven one of the two
Eurospec Vanagons.  It is an awesome feeling to have a 2.0 gas in-line
engine powering the Vanagon that the opposing engine.

  Power is consistent from dead stop all the way to the top of the
powerband. We've converted & driven a number of the Diesel Vanagons
to1.8 hydraulic engines and GTI engines, but this configuration with the
2.0 the Stroke, and the new fuel injection system  is buy FAR the best
to be offered.

  I hope this information is something you can use and if you have any
questions or comments feel free to e-mail or phone me.
