have one, done.  I didn't do the swap but I have been all  over/through it
by now.  If you need me to  look at mine for pics or  whatever, let me know,
I can tell or show you what was done on this one.   I like the combo, think
it may be one of the better swaps for inexpensive and  effective.  I have
about 30k on this one in a couple of years and I like  it..When or if this
motor (92 golf, jetta, cabriolet 8 valve) gives up, I can  replace it for
about $300..Mid 20s for fuel consumption, probably around  120hp with a mild cam
and very easy to work on.
  I have never found a website like the Subie-Vanagon list..but then  there
really is no need...not much to mess with for the VW>VW motor swap  and the
inline gassers are simple.  Plenty of "tuner VW" sites to show  you how to
get more HP.
   Keep me (us?) posted on how it goes for you..Not much out  there about
this particular swap.

hello Don  Thanks  I am pretty good at this stuff so I don't  think it will
be too hard to do. Pixs would be nice if you could take some for  me. i gpt
an 85 weekender that didn't have a motor and I was saving all this  stuff
just for such a vannie.  later  mark  d
