I had the pleasure of viewing a Subaru/Vanagon conversion. The Kennedy kit
looks well thought out. It fits in well and sound great. I didn't want to
take it for a spin(this time), because I was afraid I would spoil myself.
There a still a few finishing touches left to the conversion, but the owner
drove it from Long Island to Ohio with no problems. The owner, who is on
the
list, but at the moment wants to remain anonymous.
I guess he is afraid of all the questions he may get.

I, too have thought seriously about this conversion.  Kennedy said there
are only about a dozen swaps done so far.  I found a 95 turbo w/ 1000 miles
on it and have a deteriorating head gasket.

What are the finishing touches you refer to?
