This kind of problem is often discussed there, and there is a HUGE resource of solutions to these kinds of problems in their "files" section. The two moderators there are Brent and Tom. Brent has a website here: http://weidefamily.net/vanagon/ notice the links at the top of that page to his completed conversions. Tom's page is here: http://subaruvanagon.com/ Either of them can help you join the Subie list. bob |
