I've just checked the MSDS web-pages, http://www.msdsinc.com and the Vanagon
parts were few but way cool. BTW, this man must be totally wack, putting a 400
hp chev sb in the rear of a dub-cab...I love it :-)) That puppy must be
flyin'...fast! Very fast!!
The Porsche engine kits are more interesting than some VW 2,0 kits we have been
discussing here lately, $ 1775 for 2WD, $1975 fro Syncro, this is only the
conversion kit, tho. The engine is not included :-( Anybody know how the tranny
will stand up to 230 Porsche stallions?
