verying and off topic just a little

[Jeff Miller]

If you're talking Vanagon, both the Suburu six and turbo-four will
fit, adapters are readily available. In VW engines the 1.8 turbo
fits, as does the VR6, but you'll need to fab an engine cover as they
stick up a little.

Around here the nearest guy with conversion experience and adapter
parts is in Canada, not a long drive from the Detroit area. If you
need contact information email me.
