Hi,
I can send you pictures of such an installation.
Just finished one recently.
what particular areas do you have questions about ..
mechanical stuff...say engine mounting , exhaust etc. ?
or electrical...as in wiring harness . ?
and interfacing the subaru electrical part with the vanagon electrical
part ?

I am trying to complete the installation of a 99 2.5 DOHC engine in an
86 Vanagon Weekender. I bought this vehicle from a third party seller,
who had very little information about the vehicle, other than that the
engine was from a 99 Legacy with 44,000 miles, and that he heard it
run before it was removed from the Subaru. I talked to small car, and
from my description, they said it did not sound like the modification
parts were from them. The seller did say that he possibly remembered
that the owner mentioned getting a modification kit from a
Subaruvanagon member named Bryan, spelled with a Y instead of an I.
The installation appears to be about 80-85% complete, but there are
still some areas that have me at a loss. If I could have the
opportunity to look at a completed installation, I think it would give
me enough information to get this project wrapped up in time for
camping season. SO - I'm wondering if anyone within a 2-3 hour drive
of Charlotte, NC would have a V-gon with a 2.5 DOHC that I could come
and inspect, and maybe make a few photos of the areas I have questions
about, so I can get this vehicle on the road. Thanks in advance! Darrel
