Hi, I just sold my 1980 Westy and am ready to address a new engine for my 1984 Westy. A friend of mine just did the 2.2 Subaru conversion and I was able to drive it. I loved the power increase! And his is an automatic! Fit looks good and sounds good too. My concern is the oil pan. He has already ripped the pan off once when it was towed. Does anyone know of a source for a lower profile Subaru oil pan? Some of the roads I like to take will definitely pose a problem for the lower clearance. Just out of curiosity, how does the Subaru 2.2 compare HP wise to the South African Conversion? A brand new engine and electronics sure are appealing.

Thanks all, John Andrew 1984 Westy "Schmooo", maybe soon to be "Schmooobaru"
