Below is a parts list for the DIY'er who wants to convert an Aircooled (80-83.5) or Watercooled (83.5-91) Vanagon to a Subaru engine. I've supplied these part numbers but double check for your year before ordering. I've had great luck with these parts in converting everything over to Subaru - Build the Adventure!
