Joy's uncle Ted is in the process of doing a Subaru conversion on his 84 Vanagon. He got the Subaru engine at Pull-A-Part which saved him a bundle (it was somewhere around $150 with the core charge and tax) and he's purchased most of the conversion items from Kennedy. He's got a friend in Florida that will do the conversion, but he really doesn't want to drag it down there. He's been trying to find a shop locally that would be willing to do it at a resonable price, but hasn't had any luck yet.
