Nice. I like the whole barrel vibe you've got going on. : )

CSP oil filter bracket bracket I made yesterday using simple tools Not bad for a white collar I hope :-D Using one stock hole in moustache bar bracket and one extra 6mm drilled for added safety. Hoses aiming directly to the pump and case fittings for a straight and neat install, oil cleaner is hidden behind mudflap for added protection from elements

Hello! So here I´m because I have found a dead horse to beat the s*** out.

I found a very good 2 ltr 6 rib transmission for a fair price (very hard to do these days! I need a qualified opinion if my engine will handle this gearbox. My bus is a walkthrough with very basic interior, I do not plan to haul a lot of passengers or stuff. The engine is 1835 singleport with Kadrons, good compression, quality exhaust, stock weight flywheel and good clutch plate. Full stock doghouse cooling, and I can add oil cooler very easily if needed.. I roll on stock 185/82x14" tires.

My goal is to lower my rpms and noise.

I´d love to hear you!

Thanks!
