<< At first I thought I was not going to be able to offer this kit to those of
 you that have automatic Vanagons.  Well I am please to announce that this kit
 is also available for the automatic Vanagons as well for the same price as
the
 4-speed.
 Also I had talked of having to raise the rear deck lid in order to be able to
 put in the 5-cylinder motor.  After more research I have found that this is
 not the case and so no extra deck height is needed for these kits.  So you
 will have no problems installing this kit in a Westfalia or Weekender
Vanagon. >>

vanagon!!!!!!!!
