I have an '87 Vanagon, with a blown engine (rod is sticking through
block) pars places tell me the core charge on these engines, 2.1 L, is
very high.  Does any one have a used engine, salvagable block or other
suggestion of a relatively inexpensive way to get my van back on the
road?

I am not sick of my engine, but I was wondering if this would be more or
less expensive then trying to replace the current 2.1 L engine which
shops want an arm and a leg for.
