I really want to ditch the 1.9L H4 Digijet in my '85 Westfalia. It's a total PITA (direct fuel injection and a distributor) but I'm not keen on dropping in a GoWesty or "Subagon" ICE motor when EV is the way to go.
I have a friend who does the copart thing, maybe I'll have him keep an eye out for a cheap wrecked Tesla
I'd trust my weak ass diesel engine to drive me to hell and back, but I know that won't last.
