It's a vanagon westy conversion, but it should be close enough for the guys who have done the 914.
Just need some ballpark costs right now. What's the best engine(s)? cost ballpark high/low? What should be done on engine (belts, maintenance) while it out? Conversion parts needed (KEP, etc.)? Time to get everything done (with a equipped shop and "get 'er done" mindset)? What am i missing? I see on the net the pro full meal deal with a fresh rebuilt 1.8T VW engine is $12K, $6K for a very complete install kit (no engine) with new heater core and lots of new engine bits as well. I'm trying to compare (ballpark) high/low costs. Thanks |
