I also have found a KEP adapter in a JY in a van with rabbit engine, was carbed, and the DIYer was obviously over their head, it appeared to never been running. I paid under $50 for the KEP adapter, Flywheel, Pressureplate A down right steal but to a salvage yard they do not know it's a custom made $500 engine adapter. to them it's a bellhousing, Flywheel, and pressure plate, every vehicle has those.. don't let this die in the scrap heap, either pull it, have them pull it or share it's location for another to pull it. and I agree with the after value of KEP adapters. I plan on putting a quantum TD into my 76 baja bug.
