I'm almost finished with installing a Syncro motor in my 2WD '84 Westy.  Not
quite the same as a Syncro conversion, but the number of details in which
the two engines differ is quite astounding.  One reason is that the Syncro
motor sits lower in the chassis.

BTW, I do have a Syncro motor carrier and a muffler heat shield, the one
onto which the coolant bottle mounts, left over from my transplant, if
anyone needs them.  I'm in Atlanta.
