tell him he should join the vanagon list (vanagon.com for sub. info)  the 
wasserboxer vanagon engines SUCK.  they are plagued with head leaks.   the 
majority of people on the vanagon list have done engine conversions, the most 
popular being the inline golf 4 cyl into the vanagon, being done by TIICO or 
Eurospec. also popular is the subaru engine into the vanagon, and there is 
even a guy in livermore, ca putting the 5cyl audi engine into the vanagon.  
there alot of different conversions for this vehicle.
