Subject:SDM07- many engine conversions

Syncro de Mayo 2007 was held this past weekend. This is an annual event
where Syncros gather for camping and trail riding in the State Off-Road
Park. The park is near Hollister Calif. I have not heard any official
tally but I'd guess more than 80 Syncros where there at some point. I
counted over 60 camped early Sat morning.

This year there were so many modified Syncros that it was hard to find a
stocker. I tried to count up the different engines that had been
installed to replace the original 2.1 waterboxer.

Here is a list so far.

VW  Waterboxers
2.1  stock
2.3 Go Westy 4 cyl
2.4 Go Westy 4 cyl
2.5 Go Westy 4 cyl

Audi/VW
1.8T , gas 4 cyl
2.2  , gas 5 cyl
2.8 VR6 , gas 6 cyl
1.9 TD , diesel 4 cyl
1.9 TDI , diesel 4 cyl
2.5 TDI , diesel 5 cyl

Subaru Boxers
2.2 4 cyl
2.2 Turbo 4 cyl
2.5 4 cyl
2.5 Turbo 4 cyl
3.3 SVX 6 cyl

Zetec
2.0 4 cyl
2.0 SuperCharged 4 cyl
