Yep, this is the Eveready Bunny of threads.  Second only to tires.

Bubba,

Check with tiico.com (SA I-4), fastforward.com (any VW I-4), kep.com
(Subaru), and msds.com (Porshe 6/Chevy V-8)for informations on conversions.
Check with bostoneng.com for a high quality wasserboxer rebuild.  The KEP
site has links to owner conversion sites that are pretty informative about
the Subie conversions.

Everybody has three or four opinions on the best conversion.  Me, I'm happy
(for now) with my low mileage Partial Lilley 1.9L.
