In response to a previous post regarding the retrofit of a Porsche 3.2L
engine in a Vanagon, I have a few questions...

The Porsche is an air cooled engine.  Vanagon's are water cooled.  Why
would you take a water cooled engine and replace it with an air cooled
Porsche engine, other than for the obvious gain in horsepower?  Wouldn't
you lose the benefits of heating the van in the winter?   Plus, parts
for the Porsche engine are outrageously priced compared to that of the
VW engines...  Just looking for some answers and other
opinions/viewpoints...
