<div style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); FONT-SIZE: 16px"><DIV>Hi Hemrick;</DIV><DIV>I personally have one of the Beta issues of their current Gen V VW inline 4 conversions. Everything they do is tested to the max before they release it to the public. I think my wiring harness has been changed a half dozen times as they came up with better versions. The same can be said about various components of the engine. They are a complete restoration shop, do great work, and are responsive to any issues I have had as the process progressed. And I can be a tough customer. Jon is a perfectionist in what he does and you can rely on them to not screw you. Their diesel knowledge is extensive. Turbos too. Any questions you may have, feel free to contact me.</DIV><DIV>On the down side, they are somewhat out of the way and you ought to see the road into their place during bad weather. Once you get there and see their yard, you will know you are in Vanagon/Westy country!</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Dave B.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV style="BORDER-TOP: #bcbcbc 1px solid; MARGIN: 5px 0px"></DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #000000">On 06/26/14, <SPAN>TJ Hemrick<x53gunner@GMAIL.COM></SPAN> wrote:</SPAN><DIV> </DIV><DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #000000">Does anyone have personal experience with, know of someone else who does, or know anything about these guys or the conversion kits/parts they offer (more than what's on their website: <A class=parsedLink href="http://www.foreignautosupply.com/" target=_blank>http://www.foreignautosupply.com</A>). I have an 87 Syncro and a nice ALH from a 2003 Jetta TDI that I'd like to put in it. I contacted them and asked if they would coordinate a visit to their facility to check out their engine conversion kit:(<A class=parsedLink href="http://www.foreignautosupply.com/parts-accessories/67-in-line-4-cylinder-vanagon-engine-conversion-basic-install-kit/#.U6twaMu9KK0" target=_blank>http://www.foreignautosupply.com/parts-accessories/67-in-line-4-cylinder-vanagon-engine-conversion-basic-install-kit/#.U6twaMu9KK0</A>) <BR><BR>And their wiring harness kit: <BR><BR><A class=parsedLink href="http://www.foreignautosupply.com/parts-accessories/65-alh-diesel-conversion-wiring-harness/#.U6tw7Mu9KK0p" target=_blank>http://www.foreignautosupply.com/parts-accessories/65-alh-diesel-conversion-wiring-harness/#.U6tw7Mu9KK0p</A><BR><BR>Any info would be greatly appreciated. <BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>TJ<BR></DIV></div>
