Steve, You can get answers to these questions and many more at: http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/subaruvanagon/

Some people prefer the Small Car engine mounts over the KEP. I'm using the KEP mounts and have no complaints. I absolutely LOVE my subaru conversion. My only regret is not doing it sooner....
