Yesterday I took the first step toward starting an engine conversion. I had seriously considered Bostig and Subaru, both fine conversions. I've driven a full Westy with a Subaru 2.5 and it was amazing. But in the end, there desire to keep it all VW won out. I found and purchased the later ('83-up) diesel engine carrier bars, engine mounts, diesel oil pan, and a couple of other items. Now, I know I also need the Kennedy adapter plate too, once I decide which in VW engine is going in there. I'm sure there are plenty of sites which detail doing this conversion, but if anyone can point me to one please do! Also looking for an engine to buy-local to the Washington DC area. My old 1.9 is still humming away, runs like a sewing machine, but the right head is weeping coolant (for over 10 years! Yes, 10 years) and I just need/want more power. Mine is an '85 Weekender, automatic, power steering and a/c (which I'd like to keep) Thanks!
