Good evening all....

If your one of theose folks who have been dying to convert your Vanagon to 
a Vanaru (Vanagon with a Subaru engine), have I got a deal for you.

Financial hardship has struck and I must abandon this project.  I have a 
unused (not driven with) KEP adapter kit #5500.  The kit includes a 
mounting plate that replaces the stock Subaru bell housing and a custom 
flywheel that mounts a standard 9" van clutch and bolts to the Subaru 
crank.  It includes all mounting hardware for these two pieces.  This will 
work for the following engines:

Subaru 1.8 OHV (Late model GL/DL)
Subaru 1.8 OHC (Loyale)
Subaru 2.7 Opposed 6 (XT-6)

Any one of these engines fit nicely in the VW engine compartment.  Some lid 
mod is required otherwise you'll loose about 3 inches of ground clearance.

I paid $510 for this NEW in August.  I will entertain all reasonable 
offers.

I even have the wiring harness and the exhaust system set up for the OHV 
engine.  I'll throw these in for free, if you want them.  Additionally, I 
can provide you with some of the details on how to do the conversion

Personally, if you can find it, go for the 2.7.  It gives you 145hp.  Image
