[QUOTE="K@rlos, post: 632288, member: 4304"] A fast bus is fun but to do it properly isn’t a cheap affair I’m afraid. It’s not just the engine itself, you need an improved oil cooling system, beefed up gearbox with taller gearing to take advantage of the power, decent shock absorbers, anti roll bars and if it’s a 68-70 bus a front disc conversion is a wish choice. I’m a firm believer in oil gauges, in a stock VW A decent fuel system using new Weber IDFs is about a grand now 😳 Proper exhausts are big money too. That said I do love a stock bus and in my opinion really nice original examples should stay that way. My bus had a lot of bits missing and was a bit ropey when I got it so modifying it to such a degree didn’t seem as barbaric if you get what I mean. [/QUOTE]
