So, this brings me to the obvious followup question:

Is there anyone on the list who's done the KEP Subaru 2.2 engine swap?

I'm about to inherit an '85 Westy, which has consumed a total of three
1.9l's in it's 210k+ lifetime. I've about had it with the Wasserboxer, but
I love the rest of the vehicle. There seem to be two obvious choices:

If money were no object: MSDS Porsche 3.2l Carrera conversion
In reality: KEP Subaru 2.2l conversion

Anyone on the list with experience with either?

Thanks in advance,
        Zandr
