Warren,
Thanks for taking the initiative and starting the new list! I think
there are so many of us now that we could use a little support.
I'm installing my engine now, in an '82 ex-diesel Westy. The engine
is
a '90 with about 40k. I have just bolted the trans mount to the body
and am working on getting the engine support bolted up. This is a bit
more involved install than some, because I'm going to mount Syncro
underpinnings and drivetrain before I'm done with it. I have mounted
the Syncro tank and new filler (oops, that's another list).
Anyway, it's definitly a bit of a job, but I've got some experience,
having put V6 Buicks in '78 and '80 campers, so this shouldn't be to
bad.
I think I'm going to put the computer inside the van, up under the
closet, where it'll be out of the elements and a bit more accessable.
Since I'm going Syncro, I'm putting the air intake on the right to
take advantage of the snorkel on that side. The muffler on the donor
Syncro was nearly new, so it will see service with the Legacy WBX.
The
clutch is a new LUK from Ron at BD. I had to cut out the battery tray
that the diesels have in the engine room and move the battery to it's
usual position under the passenger seat.
I'm sure I'll find other changes to make before I'm done, and I'll
post them as they occur.
I can't wait to see how many Subygons there are around, since many of
us had to wait for parts because of the backlog. I'm sure many will
be
from California.
