All: This would probably be appropriate for the list, since it may involve Audi parts. First some background: A friend of mine blew the head gasket on his VW Westphalia (sp?) Rather than spending $2000 for a rebuild he's toying with the idea of using an engine from the other VW-Audi cars. Question for the list is, has anyone done, or heard of, swapping in an Audi 4 or 5-cyl in-line engine into the van? It's an automatic with a gas motor, and he wants to keep the current trans package. Rumor had it that VW once had a diesel in the Vanagon, and I suspect that if true, it must've been the 4-cyl watercooled block. If you can provide any info, please reply privately unless of interest to the list. Suppliers, parts, kits, etc would help greatly. A similar post is going to the VW watercooled list. Thanks in advance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jeff Loh, CAD Applications Technologist Fluor Daniel Wright Ltd. 1075 West Georgia St. Vancouver, B.C.
