This kit precludes anyone from having to do research....fabrication....trial and error (which can eat up a lot of time and expense) and puts the engine in the most ideal position. I'm not associated with them in any way, not even a designated "Vorshlag Test Pilot" of which they have many. So my reviews and comments are strictly customer based. My background is 30 year mechanical in the Aviation industry and I know sound engineering when I see it working with Boeing and Airbus products daily. So going with as many of their kit products is the way to go, it may save you money in the end. These guys are ridiculously thorough in their products and have been doing kit swaps for years. Yes they are extremely busy and you may have to wait. But in the end it will be worth it.

Still in for updates.
I'm holding off probably another year to pull the trigger as I'm getting married this year.

I hope it's worth it in the end! I have a L33 currently in the process of being rebuilt and I want to buy some swap parts before the CDN dollar gets even worse

Then you best head down and buy some U$D soon, because if the US raises interest rates and Canada does not, our paper wont be worth a damn!

If I were looking at this swap, I would not hesitate to get going on it with this kit; you already know the car is going to run. There might still be some details to sort out, but most people take one or two years to complete a swap, and I am confident that a solution will be in place by then, not just because of this one car, but because of the progress I see in Can-bus hacking across the entire car hobby.

This month, can- bus solution in a "unique" and innovative way will happen hopefully to the Vorschlag swap car,....its being done out of country as there doesn't seem to be anybody yet nationally to do the work and offer it as a sellable part. It being done out of country is the reason for the delay, but from what I have heard and seen it will be well worth the wait.
