Frank,
I've done three- two Buick V6's ('78 Westy and '80 brand X camper) and
my current '82 Westy with the 1.8L Jetta engine. Next engine will be an
Audi 2.0L or 2.3L.
All vehicles are still going strong. The Buick conversions were done
five years ago, the Jetta last year.

I know you purists are thinking "BUICK???" but you haven't lived until
cars start trying to pass your Westy on the onramp 'cause they just KNOW
it's gonna take you forever to get up it, and you just mash down on the
loud pedal and pull away from them, and it takes DAYS for the smile on
your face to go away!!  Right, Sudhir?
