Z,

Another thought is to put the Syncro parts onto a GL or a Westy.  There
doesn't seem to be much point in putting the Syncro parts on a GL unless
you find a Syncro with a blown engine and a rusty body.  But if you can
find a good Westy, you can put the Syncro parts on it.

For a summary of how to do this check out the Syncro@yahoogroups.com
list and check the files section where there is a file with several
posts from Larry Hamm who Syncroized an 81 Westy.  It also has a Subie
engine in it IIRC.  The folder has my name on it because I pulled the
files from the archives and posted them with Larry's consent.

I think pulling and the installing the cabinets, plumbing and wiring
from a Westy into a GL might be more work than you are thinking it is.
Not that it is impossible, but just that it is not a minimal job.
