Hi I've got two simple questions -why is there such an interest in swapping engines -whats is there I should be concerned about in just replacing with a recon unit the 2.1 water cooled engine in my Van. Are there such significant advantages in using another engine -whats the matter with a new version of the old one. and secondly where the best place to buy one -I've got to ship it to France
Thanks for your help and advise...
