I have been an owner of Nissan Maxima's for years.  I would love to put one
of their engines in my bus some day... the link below doesn't work for me...
could you send me some more information, please?
Thanks,
Cam

Subject: engine conversion Nissan more info

Hi, again.....

since I have gotten quite a few emails asking questions about the Nissan
Maxima engine conversion, I thought it easier to just put up the website
that
was prepared for the van I purchased

http://atlantic.photoisland.com/servlet/com.arcsoft.LoginNew

type in vw in the empty box provided and then hit VW Westfalia under album
list on the left side of the screen to see the rest of the pictures.....

most of the pictures relate to the van, itself, but there are a couple of
the
installed engine so you can see what a neat installation it is.....and still
6.5 inches of ground clearance (which is stock normal for the 84 Vanagon)
with the 225/60/16 tires.....

I also upgraded the headlights and installed the SA big brake kit........

if you have any questions about how the van performs, ask me.....

if you have any SERIOUS interest in having Marco build one for you, call the
number on the website....

he WILL NOT be creating DIY kits or license the design to anyone else.....he
has too much (justifiable) pride in his own work to give up control of the
finished product.......

Best......

James
