Subject:      Subaru Transplant

Well, got our '90 Carat back the other day with a brand new Heart Transplant. A Subaru Legacy 2.2 135hp Heart. This Wolfsburg Carat, we bought new in 1990, never really lived. Now she's alive! What a match made in heaven. The German Vanagon design matched with the superior Japanese engineering. No more 19th Century Wasserleaker! I was very lucky to find an installer who did his own Westy conversion and is into perfection as part of his personality. Anyone who owns a wornout Vanagon and is considering a Transplant, I highly recommend the Suby Legacy '90-95 2.2 engine transplant. These engines easily go 250,000 or more miles before you have to start thinking rebuild. I just met a Legacy owner who has 344,000 miles on his Outback. I'm telling you guys, looking at this engine in her new home, looks like from the factory. That Suby engine with the automatic tranny is a dream to drive. You can barely feel the tranny shift. If you live in Southern California I will be glad to turn you on to my installer. He is an Electrical Engineer by trade, but he loves his hobby. He's very reasonable and into doing things right the first time! Steve
