Ken,

I'm in California so, unfortunately, your kind offer won't help me much, but I
would like some clarification as to when one would do this.  It has probably
come up on the list before, but, ignorant as I am,  I was probably unclear on
the concept.  Does this engine work in all vanagons or would this only be an
advantage for earlier models?  If I was planning to do new heads and lots of
other stuff to my '87 Syncro, would it make sense to do this?  Or should I stick
with the engine I have?  Is there a clear explanation somewhere of which engines
have been used as replacements in vanagons with the pros and cons of each?
