But I want to use the Subaru SVX engine. Longer life, lower cost, more than
enough horsepower for my needs.

Martin Schneider Designed Systems uses the G50 with its Porsche engine kits
for Vanagons. You can also get your big brake kit from them. Check them out

Westy so I could confidently tow a one-ton load. It looks like I can
"super size" the disc brakes, at the same time add vented
rotors, maybe change the rear brakes to discs too and add an
adjustable proportioning valve, and then cram in an SVX engine for power, so
the weakest link would be the tranny. </FONT></P>

I've been wondering if a Porsche 901, 905, 930, or G50 transaxle will
physically fit in the Vanagon? If so, does somebody machine an adapter
to go between the SVX engine and the Porsche tranny?</FONT></P>
