Happy 1999 Volks,      ...I would appreciate some input...

I have a '87 Syncro GL (118,000m) and need to replace the heads for the
second time.  I have been reading the list on this subject for quite a
while in anticipation of this...now it is here!  I am 98% convinced that
I sahould replace the engine; but with what??  A lot of discussion is
about the Audi 5c engine and I understand (???) that some deck height is
lost.  My son suggested a Subaru engine, But I don't recall any mention
of a Subaru replacement.  Searching the net, I found the Kennedy
Engineered Products site, and a recommedation of the Subaru Legacy
(90-94) engine.

Has anyone had any experience with this engine?  I would really
appreciate your comments.  Maybe it would be simpler to buy a rebuilt VW
engine (a '91 ??) and install it!  ??

Thank You,   Marlin,  in Cent.PA
