Greg,

I don't know about the Tiico or Zetec conversions in luft-boxers but
there has been a good deal of discussion on the Yahoo SubaruVanagon
group about converting to EJ22s.  There have been a number of these
done.  The basic engine mount up should be the same as with a
wasser-boxer conversion but you have to piece together a cooling system
and depending on your personal temperature tolerance you'll need to
work out heating as well.  The same issues would apply to a Tiico or
Zetec.

There have also been a couple of loafs converted to EJ22s,  Toyotas and
Volvos as well.

I'm in the final stages of an EJ22 conversion on my '85 and am falling
in love with the van all over again.
