Perfectly timed updates for me! Over the past week I just finished reading through your forum thread as well as pchill. This is just the feedback and update I was looking for. I just pulled the trigger on the first parts for my k24 swap journey and will hopefully be picking up the k24 this weekend. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Reach out to Pchill2 on The Samba as they were planning on making K swap engine mounts and exhaust components for Vanagons. Contact Kennedy Engineering for a quote on the engine to transaxle adapter kit.
Glad to see things coming along... I hit you up on Samba. :-)

It’s been a great video series following you on this journey.
Lots of Subi swaps but the K series has been interesting 👍
Thanks! There have been a few others working on K series swaps for their Vanagons. Excited to see where this swap option goes in the future!
I have got to find a way to do this in California. :)
just bought a 1980 westy looking for engine mounts and things needed to do this swap would you have any website recommendations for the parts needed?

Finally an engine that should last, hondas like to rev, takes away the tow truck ride home
So far it's been a lot more predictable than the original Waterboxer.
