ok, I am looking at replacing my 1.9DG in my 87 high top. I am looking for reliability, economy and power. I am keeping the van so a brand new engine may be a possibility what do I go for, alternatively I will have to source an engine and have it rebuilt.
cheers guys

Being on petrol now, I'd kinda say Subaru 2.2, supply & fit by TSR . . but there's always that slight doubt about 'who can fix it'

Spose where you are, there's Steve Shaw (who bought my 2.2 subaru off me) who's pretty clued up.

if your thinking diesel, mr simon brickyard or maybe even Syncronutz maybe best to contact fella

tis a road I'm considering

browsing the threads, AAZ seems to crop up constantly

how did that cb work out in end?

Diesel, AAZ looks like the best option generally, without swapping gearbox and final drive ratios (expensive)

The Subaru conversion looks very good, see the Brickyard for full foto shoot on the operation, very nice conversion and keeps the boxer motor as well :) Also, you could get one of those rear "silencers" with the 5" tailpipe that all WRX`s seem to have, to make that Subaru drone :)
