That rocks! Odd, I've never been a fan of Vanagons. Are those still being
brought in in the Pacific northwest?

To paraphrase the Old Sea Captain:

'Tis not a Vanagon -- 'tis a remorseless money-eating machine!

I casually looked at a vanagon syncro once. Very cool. Hate to say it
though but a F150 crewcab 4x would be more economical, reliable and
functional.

Just engine swap.. The 1.9L Turbo A3 Diesel Injection Engine seems to be
the preferred upgrade.
