In the  past I've installed Subaru engines, great engines but you spend a

hey guys  I do a lot of subie repairs and they aren't  all that  great.
they have their problems also.  I just did a 1.8 jetta motor in a  vannie using
the whole vannie controll system. did not change anything to the  body so
if I don't like it I can always change it back over, but so far so good  ,
jetta motor seems to be doing great , I used a vannie diesel bellhousing and
oil pan, mounts etc.  road test coming up soon  later  mark  d
