Honda motors to my experience have little low end torque.  You generally
have to wind them out up to 7000 rpm to get any power...not very user
friendly for our Vanagons....
Rather than that, how about a 1.8T from an later model Audi.  Full torque
available at 1650 rpm and 150 hp stock.  Now that sounds like a much better
swap....
