VW Vanagon Products
ENGINE CONVERSION SYSTEM
The 911-powered Vanagon moves you into a highly respectable vehicle class. Not only will you own any lane that you drive in, but towing, passing or just cruising will become a sheer pleasure.
Big rig drivers have nicknamed the Vanagon as the "moving guard rail." Can you imagine their expressions when you pass them on an upgrade?
The 911 Carrera, 3.2 liter, engine will be the most expensive part of the conversion... providing that you already own the van. The 911 engine is like having money in the bank as it holds its value through the years. So after you have grown tired of the 911 Vanagon (highly unlikely), reverse the conversion and sell the engine for top market price.
MSDS had assembled this comprehensive conversion kit, made from the finest grade materials, using our finest craftsmanship, to provide Vanagon owners this top notch system. Forget those $60,000.00 German built dream Vanagons... the MSDS conversion is built in the U.S.A. and sold in kit form, at a realistic price!

ORDERING INFORMATION: Kits may be ordered by cashiers check or Visa/Mastercard. 50% deposit is required at time of order and the remaining balance due is payable prior to shipping. There are NO COD shipments. Delivery of kits range from two to eight weeks.
NOTE: Use of any 911 engine other than the 3.2L Carrera, will cause the engine to protrude through the engine cover on the Vanagon floor. The MSDS conversion system is designed with the 3.2 engine for purposes of not decreasing cargo area space, use of the fold down bed, and keeping the floor as flat as possible.
To complete this conversion, Porsche parts are required and are not included in this kit. These parts are listed by part number in the instruction sheets. These parts are related to: DME electronics, oil tank and accessories, and rubber engine mounts.
A heavy duty Fitchel and Sachs pressure plate and machined spacer plate flywheel ring are included in the kit. This will work with your stock 2 or 4 wheel drive transmission, starter motor, clutch disc and throw out bearing. If a Porsche G50 transmission (2WD) is selected for your conversion, you will not need them. Instead, MSDS will provide the G50 front transaxle-to-frame mount and shift rod adapter.
If your van is equipped with a MPH/RPM dashboard cluster, it is probably best to have this converted to a six cylinder model. This takes MSDS about ten days, sent to VDO and then returned to you via UPS. See option list for price of recalibration. If there is no tachometer in your van, you might consider the optional VDO tachometer (see options), or custom installing the Porsche 911 tachometer in your dash board. A VDO oil pressure gauge is included in this kit.
Kits for automatic transmission models are not available at this time, sorry!
