The air filter looks like a nice piece. Tucks into the corner like stock

Get any heater stuff you want, I’ll put it in place.

I have an expansion tank being sent to KCW, it’s not that one, it’s one I can make work. One off eBay for $60 bucks.

 

That engine cradle will only work with their exhaust. I had JJ buy a header already that I know fits my engine cradle. I was just planning on using my cradle and exhaust set up.

 

Ill use whatever ever you guys buy. I’m bringing a bunch of shit and sending Parts. Worse case I’ll have too any parts to choose from!

Your call.

We used the RMW mount on ee20 swap nicely. Drill a few holes and its done.

How about that expensive air filter box? I think its a good choice.

I was just going to use an aftermarket cone filter.

You guys let me know if your gonna have me use that hanger and exhaust. I can use it or build mine.

Seems like it would take a good amount of time to fabricate, fit, and paint a engine hanger.

The RMW unit mounts towards the front of the engine. I think it would be out of the way of the exhaust your are planning to make.  Put you a step ahead? You tell me what you want. Its your project. I’m just thinking of the time you have.

You are planning to do head gaskets and timing belt on this core engine too?

make a wire harness

make a expansion tank

make an exhaust

make an intake

make a thermostat housing

modify a cross over

Mount/route wire harness and ECU

Modify a intake manifold

and a bunch of other stuff

The only part I have collected is a vanagon clutch and clutch disc. We need to have everything ordered like next week to have it here in time.

You have the KEP subaru adapter and flywheel?

[Andym]

#24714

yes The adapter plate kit is going in the mail today along with a lot of other shit. Should see a few boxes early next week.

My hanger goes behind the motor. I’ll get you pictures later of one.

Yes im doing headgaskets, water pump, and belt on that motor…did you say core?😳

I got the wiring harness built and on a mock up board. Just need to use the connectors off that motor and solder them to my wires. You have a good solder iron?

 

franz I appreciate all the thought your putting into helping me set this up!!

Regular Chocolate Chip it is! 👍🏻 😁

Thank you so much for putting so much thought into this Andy and Franz – I can’t wait to be driving my vanagon in the not so far future!!! 😁👏🏻

I saw some pictures of the front seats, and they look awesome! Hopefully Corporate can post some when they get to the shop!

It’s all coming together!
