I called Kennedy about 2 months ago and the lady who picked up the phone
told me after a couple minutes that they DO make an adapter plate to fit a
VR6 motor to a Vanagon trans. They don not, however, have a whole kit.

But I figure, that the hardest part is connecting the motor to the trans
anyway. The mounting of the drive package can be overcome with some custom
welding.

I did, however, hear of a company in Ohio that has a VR6 kit. I haven't
spoken to them though.
