Towing with a Vanagon?

OK, I know I'm crazy and my Dodge Dakota with the 5.2L is just the ticket, but...

I'd rather sell the boring Dodge and get a Vanagon Westfalia (I'm also looking into a Vanagon based double cab) to tow my 2100 lb 911E to the race track. Anybody know of anyone doing this? What would be the engine requirement? Obviously, the stock engine won't do it, and I'd have to beef up the brakes. And what about the tranny?

I'm thinking Suburu or Tiico engine. What would be the minimum HP and torque requirements? This VW fan would like to dump the Dodge. I'd also like to camp at the track.
