John,


Uhh ... if you're going to all this trouble, why not make the move to a
Subaru engine?  I did so in 1997 when the dreaded coolant leak started.
Installed a 2.2 Subaru and it transformed the vehicle. Eventually sold it to
a guy in Texas.


Since that time an entire industry has sprung up - from different kits to
people who will install the engine for you.  Yes, it's worth the effort.
Alas, too late I realized how stupid I was to sell my '86 Country Homes
Subie conversion so now I'm in the process of building another one:  2.2
Subie into a 1984 Westy.


Brian
