On the same note, my neighbor is again souping up his '95 Vanagon. He is
removing the V6 Buick Engine that he put into way back in 1993 and he is
putting in a tuned port V8 straight out of a Corvette! Can't wait to see this
thing scream! If you are ever in the Philly area, DO NOT race a dark blue
Vanagon with nice mags on it, for he will destroy you! I'll try and get pics
of it if I can....
