Vanagon concerns / Westfalia Engine Replacement suggestions

« on: February 12, 2019, 01:23:40 PM »

So it looks like I might need a new engine for an '85 1.9l Wesftalia, and am wondering what recommendations (~ 2/2019) people have for sources to peruse out on the web.    Engine overheated due to a broken coolant belt and the head gaskets are leaking and preliminary investigation is a long slow death without replacement.  I've poked around on the web but am open to all sources and don't see any other posts in here on the site.  Did I miss 'em?

If anybody's done the Subaru upgrade recently & willing to put in some insights into that would be appreciated as well.

Thanks in advance!
