Decision Time
Hello folks, I'm glad to find this resource available. As my title indicates, I am "on the fence" on whether to convert or not convert. Most knowledgable folks that I've spoken to here in CT

Howdy Folks, I too am going to convert my '85 Westy to Subaru power. I'm interested in what my 1.9L might be worth. It has 108K miles. I think it is still healthy (but that can all change

Re: Subaru Wiring Diagram

My advice would be: If you never drive in deep water, the snorkel sure sounds like it's more trouble than its worth. I wish I had a Syncro Westy, and if I did, I would then wish I actually went
