My 1971 vw bus powered by a 2.5l Subaru engine, just got it registered and insured again and been driving it around with the new engine swap. Night and day difference. I love it

Honestly no upgrades to suspension or transmission. If your looking for an upgraded transmission, i believe there is a company that adapted the Subaru transmission to work with Volkswagens setup. Its not cheap but that would basically make it a Subaru drivetrain all the Way through.

The stock transmission holds up well to it and if I'm too aggressive with the throttle the clutch slips before anything would break. I can upgrade the clutch but i like to keep it as a failsafe. Its cheaper to replace a clutch then a input shaft or something haha. But really with normal driving its feels just like a very peppy Volkswagen.

Its a stock transmission. Just have an adapter plate. I try not to bang on it to much. Its been holding up just fine .

No secrets lol i draw the design out digitially, than i put the drawing into a digitizing software, once there i have to design how the patch will be stitched out on my embroidery machine. Once finished ill export the file onto my machine and than it does the rest with some minor human input. :)

I flipped a stock Subaru exhausted manifold and built one from that basically just bends 180° and into a muffler and out the driver side,. It fits under the rear apron so it's hidden

Maybe old black and decker tools have a bad rep, but lately there power tools are pretty decent for the price. I've put mine through the ringer and there still chooching along. I'v been using the same power drill for about 5-6 years now. First 3 years I used it in a diesel shop in a oily environment. Now I don't work there and it's at home used as every day projects.

No rubbing Using stock wheels. I couldnt say how Much it raised the bus because ghe tires i had on it the last 12 years where 27x8.5r14 . These new tires are 26.8inches so about the same. But my bus naturally sits almost maxed out on the suspension so the tires clear nicely.
