<< so anybody put a volvo engine in a vanagon? see this: http://www.turbovans.com/NEW%20Vagn.%20Parts%204%20sale.html >> This link has a KEP engine swap kit for sale to put a Volvo engine in a Vanagon for those who did not hit the site. I wonder if the swap has ever been done.

This link also shows an "adjustable voltage regulator for Vanagon" for sale "allowing 14.5 volts at the battery." for $26. Is this a common upgrade and at all worth installing to deal with the voltage drop from the alternator all that way up to the battery?
