Welcome to the blog site for the Rockway Mennonite Collegiate Grade 12 Transportation Technology class project!  The  plan for this unique and exciting project is to convert a 1987 VW Westfalia van to be powered by a 2.OL DOHC Zetec Ford engine. 

The picture on the right shows the "Westy" being prepared to begin removing the VW engine.



The Bostig conversion kit is being used, which supplies all the components to make the conversion to a Ford engine possible.  The intent is to replace the original water-cooled boxer engine with a more powerful and more reliable Ford inline 4 cylinder.  Who would have thought a VW could be upgraded with a Ford engine?  Stay tuned for  student posts as they make progress on the project.

The 2.0L DOHC Ford "Zetec " engine, which was removed from a 2003 Ford Focus.  Regular maintenance and some modifications are needed to prepare the engine for the conversion.
