Warren, It appears that you are relatively close to Ron's and my
vanagon loctaions in Mendocino county. You might want to make a trip up
here before you install your engine to see what it looks like. I expect
to complete my swap by the middle of June.
Alternatively, if I successfully complete mine in time for my daughter's
college graduation ceremony my van will be in Alemeda the weekend of
June 17. Could possibly meet you in Marin county on our way down on
Friday afternoon the 16th.
As noted by the Meyers brothers, it is very handy to see what the end
product will look like.
