But comparable cost bhp per pound from scratch wouldnt pay

Hay sorry for jacking this thread lets get back to super dry but just b4 we go lets set these two off on an engine build off then scoops can put in the winner after paying for the build that way the builders incentive is it ant cost oat to win and scoops gets a killer moter for stock dosh and i can blagg the loosers kit for my next project cos i know how to make it quicker.
everyons a winner.

I reckon 2.4 type 4 motor with porcshe fan kit and some weber 44's... Have a look at Stateside Tuning for some ideas

Or how about a 3.2 Flat 6 Carrera engine with the drivetrain too??

the corvair engine runns the wrong way round so you have to do a bit of engine work like cam and i think con rods but it all comes in a kit if you wont it to.

Nice one matey, everyones dub is their own canvas for who they are.......what u stick on it or under the decklid is down to your own style n taste.......its a kick ass van with a heap of attitude........More PICS!!

Ordered a pair of these this afternoon. Got them at a great price by buying them in the US and getting them delivered to my US bosses address. He's going to bring them over with him, or get someone who is already over there from our office to bring them back.

with those heads as well it would fly along nicely.

I'd already looked at those, not very good quality stuff.
I was going to bring in 4 or 5 kits but was advised not to waste my money.

nice what size bores have you gone for and whats the head chamber size 60cc? or are you getting that lot machined over here i trust your having the double springs.
are you building this mota yourself. if so do you need a hand..

I went and got the tyres mounted on the wheels this morning. No pics of them though as they aren't on the bus yet. The studs on the front adaptors need changing to longer ones, as I'm not happy the nuts have enought thread in them when they're done up at the moment.
I did however also get round to fitting up the exhaust.
So, I started with this.


Offered it all up and did the bolts up finger tight on everything.


Did have one issue getting a clamp on but managed to sort it out.

Checked for clearance on the exhaust, think it'll be ok, might have to 'trim' the bottom of one of the over-riders depending if it rattles.




With having a tatty paintjob etc it didn't cause too much problem when I found that the lower rear valance fouled the new muffler box, so I just used a g-cramp on it to bend it out to clear.


All bolted back together.




Well, almost. I ran out of time to put the bolts back in to hold the splash-pans to the bodywork, and I managed to cross thread one of the bumper iron bolts too, hopefully it will just be a case of chasing it through with a tap and replacing the bolt.
