David: My we got together in my barn and installed the 2.2 GoWesty in my brother's '85 Westy. He also purchased the transmission from GoWesty. That was about 4 years ago. No problems at all. It was a lot of fun to see that motor and trans come out of the big wood box. It was super clean and nicely painted. Pete '87 Westy "JoesVan" '79 Westy "Aardvark"
