Hi! 
Im thinking about engines as my little ends need looking at some time in the near future.
I did think about the default subaru conversion and am not against it, But this motor seems quite appealing.

http://www.theengineshop.info/acatalog/Big-Bore-Water-Cooled-Transporter-2200cc-Injection-025100031_2200.html

It would keep the van VW and be a good base for further tuning in the future, Im thinking Mega squirt/ LPG,
 Has any one fitted one, I have heard some horror stories about the company, Google The Engine Shop and see the VZI thread which appears next on the list!!!!!!!!!!!!! But.... i have worked in the motor industry for many years and know mistakes and unforseen problems can arise and the thread evens out with some good feedback after reading it all the way through.

Are there any other UK based guys who could build a similar engine for similar bucks?
Thanks in advance. Big smile

If you are thinking going MS then give Paul at vw speed shop a shout. Does full kit for a T3 for very sensible money. Iirc he uses DTA ecu. IMHO no matter how you package it, MS will always be a DIY solution , the result purely dependant on the 'manufacturer'
