Anybody here serious into the Westy's?
I live in California, and I was wondering what the rules are for upgrading or putting different motors in these? For example, if I found myself an early 70's Camper and I wanted to put a Type IV motor in it, could I and pass inspection? |

I'd suggest checking over on TheSamba. There is a lot of information on this subject. I've got an '87 Syncro Westy with a 3.3 Subie 6. Probably wouldn't be legal in California but our regs are different in Washington. I believe 2.2 and 2.5 Subie conversions have been certified in CA. KEP Engineering has done a lot of work to get these legal.
BTW, a Westy with the power to climb hills takes some getting used to, but it's worth it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
