Personally I thought the pics comparing the Suby block to the WBX were
pretty cool. But I understand that this isn't a Subaru site.
The good news is that Benny's site is only a click away. Those on this
list that are interested in Ben's stuff can easily find his site with
it's excellent pics/documentaries/comments and all round' great info.
Ben, you are truly doing a great service to the Vanagon community. And
given the fetid videos/pics I've tried my hand at, well, I can
honestly say I appreciate how much EXTRA work you go through to
provide help to others. And expert help at that. And FREE of charge
too!
Just my .02 and giving credit where it's due.
Cheers,
Neil.
