The Vanagon syncro is very persnicketty and expensive. It is easier to find a working Vanagon with a non-working syncro than the other way around. On top of that, a Vanagon syncro weighs 330 pounds.

Oh, yes, they are cool. I drove a bunch before buying a standard Vanagon, and then a bunch more when it was time to sell Vanagon. I ended up getting a EuroVan Westy the second time around instead.

Perhaps, a Quantum syncro system would be better. They are identical to Audi's Quattro. Maybe that can be adapted more easily. I don't know. I am not a mechanic.

If it could work, it may be more reliable and less heavy than the Ferguson viscuos system Vanagon's had.
