Allan (although I'd love to sell you the diesel) none at all, problems that is, not mileage related at least.� A buddy of mine flies a�Long-EZ behind a 2.2 Subie, did the conversion in about '96.� Before he switched from Honda power to the 2.2 we took apart�2 blocks with over 300k on them and they all looked brand spanking new.� They were a lot younger at the time, but with those miles.� I'd guess that of course plastic bits would fail with age, and of course needs a timing belt, but unlike the 2.5s those early Legacy mills are simply incredible reliability wise.� And personally I feel more than enough power for a vanagon conversion.� And damn cheap to, last time I converted a syncro I bought 2 under 100k mile, full�cars in MD for $1100, sold the trannies and other parts for more than I paid, and that was in like 2001.
