 David,
"KEP" is Kennedy Engineered Products, in Palmdale, CA.
They produce engine swap adapter bits, such as flywheels and
engine-to-trans mating plates. They are most well known for their VW
clutches, specially made for high performance applications. They have a
full kit to install the Subaru Legacy 2.2L in the Vanagon, using the
stock trans. I've purchased two sets of adapters from them (Buick V-6)
and have been very pleased with the quality and service.
