I would like to see if anyone in California has done this, and if so, how did you deal with getting your van smogged after the conversion? Can it be done? Ideally, I would love to find someone in Northern CA that would allow me to drive their van with the conversion in it. Or, (shot in the dark), possibly anyone driving out to CA along I-80 that would allow me to take their van for a test drive. I live in the Lake Tahoe/Truckee area. Unfortunately, i sold mine. Loved it. Shop in Daly City did the work. They have an 82 Westy with a 1.9td in there now. I thk someone bought already. Have you talked to Chris Wood at Past & Present in Truckee? He seems very well acquainted with Vanagons and swaps. he does favor Subies, though. BenT |
