Well I am please to announce that this kit is also available for the automatic Vanagons as well for the same price as the 4-speed. Also I had talked of having to raise the rear deck lid in order to be able to put in the 5-cylinder motor. After more research I have found that this is not the case and so no extra deck height is needed for these kits. So you will have no problems installing this kit in a Westfalia or Weekender Vanagon. >>
