Eric,

Yes the engine sits at the stock position. I have pics of my first conversion back in
1993, of the 1.8 8V, my 1.8 16V in my 85 also at 15 degrees. I also have pics of my
69-79 transporter manual transmission conversion.
I  put manufacturing a kit for it on a back burner unless there is more interest in
it.
I have over 100,000 miles on my 84 and 2 other vans out there with no problems.
The nice part about the conversion is using the Berg bus shifter.

If someone has a web site to borrow I can send all my pics for the list to view.

Fair warning to purest a head of time : I see over 5 perfectly good Vanagons a year
on average in junk yards with three top reasons for being there: HEAD or CRANK GRIEF,
TRANSMISSION, and believe it or not: WATER PUMP FAILURE. (most oddly with a new
alternator, go figure)
my vans were all purchased for way under $400.00.
I have a Dr. Frankenstein approach at improving the drive train of the Vanagon.
Beauty has not been my goal yet. All my conversions cost me well under $1000.00
including downer car and KEP kit. So please, go easy on me in the beauty department.
