Subject:Overhauled/Rebuilt replacement Engines

Hi Folks,
We have decided to keep our 87 Syncro for 8 more years, and try for more or
less trouble free. In order to help accomplish this in the engine
department, we are considering obtaining an overhauled (Def: reassembled to
overhaul tolerances) or rebuilt (Def: reassembled to new tolerances)
replacement engine. Putting the fuel injection, cooling system and
electrical systems aside, the two choices that come to mind are Boston Bob
and Go Westy. I've been away at school for the past 5 months; seems I
remember a place in Colorado that was offering a 2.2 L engine discussed on
the list in May of this year. The archives aren't working for me tonight
(page can't be displayed). Can someone please refresh my memory? I don't
have the time, tools or experience to do a proper job on a waterboxer, want
to keep it original, and I don't like what I hear about the inlines.
Thanks all,

Dave Milo
