conversion
Hi Guys,
I've been lurking around this page for a long time. What a great site! I could'nt resist posting a few pics of my conversion. I started the project
last october and last month I took my first trip with the new motor. We went to the Newfoundland mountains in the west desert of Utah. I could'nt be
more pleased with the subaru motor!! I'd like to thank Peter W. for all of his help and for his web page. Wes I really liked your page as well. The
first pic is of the conversion is about 3/4 of the way through. The second is of the first trip out and I think it sums up how fun the subaru is.
Thanks to all for all the help,
Bob

here's the 3.8 litre v6 in my bay.
ran a 16.2 at A.I.R. at 78 mph with stock induction and stock exhaust and a grabbing clutch, so I couldn't launch with any rpm, cos I had to hold my
foot on the brake instead of the gas.
a few little bits, and it'll be in the 15's.

My inlet manifold was too close to the rear fire wall to fit the rubber tubing. I could not extend the firewall back due to the bracket for the fuel
tank and i could not use the 90 degree vertical elbow because of the low engine cover height (raising that would block what little view I had out the
rear window and ruin the nice profile of the rear deck).
My solution was to cut the end off the inlet and weld on a tightly mitred 90 degree bend.

Hi guys this is my conversion. It's getting a 5L V8, the transaxle is a Porsche 915 5 speed, the trans conversion was simple, all i had to do was
fabricate some mounts, and after many hours of research found that late model transport CV's have the same PCD as Porsche drive flanges and were able
to fit the kombi half shafts with no modification, every VW shop had no idea either did Porsche shops finally a CV specialist in lidcome sorted it
out, he didn't want to make the shafts so we sorted through a lot of CV's to see which would fit. clutch is sorted all i have to do is set up the
shifter and the box install is complete. Also am setting up a full autometer dash and putting in bucket seats in the rear with harnesses. Will keep
you posted i want it running for the CBB dyno day

Nice to see another V8 conversion in progress.
What is the longitudinal dimension of the 5 litre?
Will it fit with the original kombi engine lid closed? Is it alright for height and width also?
What is the diameter of the copper piping you are using for the coolant lines?
Good work! Hope to see it at the CBB Dyno Day!!
