The comment is not invalid - eurospec was not a conversion imported from SA,
though they (overland) may have tried to lead you to believe it was - there
are listees who have posted who live in SA who believe that the kit we're
talking about here is the same conversion that is offered in SA. Yeah the
bus in SA has some differences but no one has ever posted that those
differences have limited their ability to put in any given engine or
transmission. Any problems have been inherent with the kit itself, not the
differences between SA vanagons and US/European vanagons - and yes, I'm very
glad I did not buy the Eurospec kit - think I'll be happy if I never buy
anything from Overland Parts.
