Subject: What Parts are need for Inline 4 conversion?

Hi Folks, bought another vanagon today!  This one is a
 dead `88 westy weekender.  Engine threw a rod it is
junk.  I have a couple I-4 VW engines in good
condition here.  Mainly a `83 rabbit engine.

What is needed to transplant this engine into my new
`88?  I know it consisits primarily of diesel vanagon
parts.  Does anyone have a comprehensive list or web
page showing the conversion.

IS this a reliable conversion and is it fairly easily
done. I am a ASE certified so ability is there ;)

Thanks
