Subject:subaru conversion

I need some of the list's wisdom.  I had an electrical fire in the engine
area of my '84 Westy.  With everything that will have to be replaced, I've
decided to do the Subaru conversion.  I just bought a wrecked '93 Legacy to
get everything from.  I assume the Kennedy kit is the way to go, but are
there other options I should consider?  My 1.9 was not hurt, but all the
wiring, hoses, etc. were, so this is an ideal time to re-power.  I've been
able to sell the VW engine at a good price, since it was just rebuilt and
has brand-new heads.  I just want the list's comments, particularly from
others who have done the conversion.  Any problems lurking I need to be
aware of?
