There are 2 ways to go to put an inline 4 into a Syncro using premade
parts.

A. If you use the diesel Vanagon bellhousing you then MUST use the
diesel Syncro tank along with the diesel Vanagon starter, flywheel, and
clutch.

B. If you use a Kennedy adapter plate you must use their special
flywheel and the stock Syncro tank is fine. For a starter you need
either a waterboxer starter if you are using a gas inline 4 or a special
high torque starter in a diesel inline 4. The waterboxer clutch fits the
Kennedy flywheel and the stock bell housing is retained.

I think David Marshall sells the parts needed to go either way.
