been done many times,
you can read about it online until your eyeballs fall out.

generally, all syncro vanagon drivetrains are the same, unless you are
getting into non-US model things like locking front diff or 16 inch wheels
and suspension.
but 86 to 91 for north amercian syncro vanagons with 14 inch wheels - all
same-same I believe.
