Well Neil,

  Jeeze, you just finished it all..

  Ok, here's my take on it's value.  When I bought my 50degree 1.8l
conversion, the big plus for me was that "it was just like a Diesel vanagon"
Now, while that isn't 100% true, the two are very very similar and any VW
mechanic will just look in there and say..."hey, you stuck a gasser in there
instead of the diesel?  Cool! No problem.."  Nothing much different other
than a few motor mounts and the intake piping..
  But yours, with extra deck height and all the other parts you had to make
from scratch...that would have put ME off..Maybe not everyone is like me,
but I just wanted to use my van, not work on it much.  And I certainly
didn't want to have to fabricate parts or worry about some odd-ball
adaptation of engine management, etc etc..
  So if you find the right person..But I think you'll find fewer right
people who want to involve themselves with a one-off air to water..flat four
to inline..etc etc etc..
  I paid 3 grand for mine..for what that is worth..about 2 years ago now.
