Converting an engine means that a lot of new parts are required. I’ve bought enough to start a small autoparts store.

I decided to replace Olly’s engine with a Zetec, an engine made by Ford. A small company from Massachusetts named Bostig has created a kit which makes this conversion possible.

As it turns out, there are many options when it comes to engine replacement in a Vanagon.

Olly is on his original engine, which has over 150,000 miles. I don’t know exactly how many, since the odometer stopped working a couple years ago. That’s a long time for a wasserboxer.

This brings me back to Olly.

Travel long and far enough in a VW van, and adventure is inevitable.

Currently I drive a 22 year old Volkswagen Westfalia camper named the Olyfant, or just “Olly” for short.
