Anybody think a full conversion kit will be available in the near future, that will have everything you need to do a suby engine conversion. Meaning clutch, adapter, radiator, pre-fabricated engine mount. Basically everthing needed to bang it out. Im starting to fantisize about the suby 2.5 liter engine in my 914....

I don't know when I will have a "kit" ready, but it will be a nice clean install that I am proud of or I won't offer it to others. I think my car is a pretty nice car and I want it to stay that way.

I also haven't seen any "hack jobs" on this site - engine swaps take a long time to get fully sorted out (I have done a few.) I am still amazed that Scott drove his conversion across the country for a shakedown run. I for one really appreciate others showing off their work and I am amazed at what many (Tony comes to mind) can do with simple tools and hard work.

Like I said before the object for me is a minimal cut or drill setup. As an example I plan on making an transmission-engine-radiator cradle that mounts to the stock engine and trans mounts. I am fairly sure that the stock shifter can be used.
