“Boxy Meets Boxer: VW Vanagon Gets a Subaru Heart at LoneWolf AuTow”

At LoneWolf AuTow, we love keeping classics alive—but with a twist. Our latest project brings together German design and Japanese reliability by swapping a Subaru EJ25 engine into a 1980s Volkswagen Vanagon. This modern powerplant breathes new life into the beloved bus, blending nostalgic style with highway-ready performance.

Follow along as we document the transformation step-by-step, from teardown to the first start. Whether you’re a Vanagon owner, swap enthusiast, or just curious about what’s possible in the garage, this build showcases what happens when passion meets precision.
