FYI, there is a note on the the importer's Facebook page that says that Subaru USA techs are beginning to receive training on the boxer diesel.

If true, that can mean only one thing….pending Subaru importation.

And they appear to have done some conversions as well.

There is an outfit in Raleigh NC (Transporter Wks) putting a Subaru Boxer diesel engine into a Vanagon, syncro I think.   I think it was an industrial engine.     I was there buying 2.1 boxer engine parts for my Bluestar a few months ago.     They do a lot of modifications and I think they might be a bit pricey but I don't know where else to go.     Steve
