If you are not doing it yourself, your most important choice will be the
shop that does it.  Try to find one close with experience in a particular
conversion and go with that.  It's been my experience with conversions you
need to be your own mechanic unless you have a shop nearby with experience.

Overall what is the choice conversion out there and why? I have a 89 Westy,
Manual, 2WD. And I am considering.

I know of the
VW TDI
Subaru, Multiple motors
Ford ZTEC

I will be asking the shop to do the conversion itself.
