Hey.  I am running an I4 conversion with an automatic in my 85 Westy, using
the KEP adaptor plate and flex plate.  I used the diesel parts.  The engine
is an 88 Audi 1.8 and runs on CIS.  I am getting ready to upgrade to a 2.0
with Digifant to get a little more umph.
If you are close to Georgia I recommend Steve and his shop, Autobahn
Society.  Thanks.     Larry      ----- Original Message -----

Subject: auto I-4 engine conversion

> Has anyone installed a VW I-4 conversion in an auto. Can you use the
Kennedy adaptor w/ the other diesel parts? After taking a good look at the
donor westy we found (and getting permission from the wife) I'm tempted to
convert it or install a rebuilt engine instead of chopping the top.
