So, as well as sorting my buses teething troubles I’ve also been inundated with customers vehicles...
My friend Darren wants me to do a full rewire, rebuilt 6 rib box and mechanical rebuild on his 1970 westy, he’s had this bus 6 yrs and has been nursing the frankly diabolical workshop ship and corner cutting on this which we can thank the previous owner for (who was a member on this forum) :roll:
Me and Hector sorted the hodgepodge 1968cc stroker 3 yrs ago as it pissed out oil and was rather underwhelming performance wise. Had an Engle W125 with bone stock heads and massive vents in the carbs. Hector Fitted a milder cam, 28mm vents and ported the heads which resulted in more power, torque and better drivability
1968cc, Engle W110, 8.5:1 cr, ported stock heads & twin 40’s. Makes 133hp and has lovely smooth torque from idle to about 5500rpm 8)
