RIGHT ON EMZ !

The idea of a V8 in a Vanagon is ridiculous ! Why not a Pratt & Whitney
from a 747 ? The Vanagon does not have the brakes, steering or
suspension for such a conversion. We'd be better off discussing
"personal experience" conversions of "bread & butter" powerplants that
are doable, affordable and realistic. Leave the V8 conversions for the
"mental patients" in the hotrod VW magazines !
