Subject:      Subaru Conversion

I see a separate list forming on the horizon, hmmm lets see the SubaVW group. In the past few months I have seen a variation on the theme below several times. Below is the address of one who did it.

Why have I been saving these message I do not know, but I have been. Maybe it's the '87 Subaru with 178K on it I have with no engine work.

Tom - Last year someone did a Subaru 1600 into their Vanagon. Posted quite a bit of details of his conversion. Contact him at:

mdcham@goodnet.com (Chambers)

I think he posted this stuff on a web site too.
