[QUOTE="Bookwus, post: 126068, member: 3986"] Hiya war, Be aware that what follows is simply a personal opinion............. While I think that a 1776 is probably just about the greatest thing since sliced bread, I don't think that I'd put one in my 1970 Bus. Why? I think that your transmission is a limiting factor here. You will, no doubt, experience more power and torque through the gears but those are the very same gears that your 1600 was spinning. You will get through them more quickly but they will still limit you. Indeed, if you were dead-set on installing a 1776 (or larger engine) I'd recommend that you look at a later transmission also.
