I've been on this list long enough to notice a significant percentage
of vanagon owners have swapped out their flat-four engines and diesels
for other engines.

My questions is why?  Is the cost of replacing a boxer engine so
prohibitive that it's cheaper to reinvent all the supporting equipment
for a different engine?  It doesn't seem to me that the engines
changes are gaining so much more power that it overrides the headaches
of reengineering the car, plus the headaches of finding parts for such
a (sorry) mongel.
