Subject:Subaru 2 VW Conversion
Date:20 Feb 97 07:41:31 PST

Subaru 2 Volkswagen interested parties -

Mark did the conversion recently and posted lots of details
of how he did it.  He had access to machining equipment so did
the work himself and made parts as needed.  Posted messages in 
October last year to the type 2 list, as he was installing a 1600 into 
his '64 crewcab.

Tim Smith already has a 2.2L engine

I'm nowhere in a position to do this conversion, but am interested 
in what it'll take to do.  I have an '87 Subaru 4WD wagon that proved 
to me the reliability of the engine, 178K and still going strong.

I'm also a pack rat and kept copies of 3 of 4 of Mark's posts.
Don't have the resources to do a list or anything, just summarizing 
some stuff to hand off to others.
