[QUOTE="K@rlos, post: 618612, member: 4304"] Thanks for the recommendation Gasman 8) Regarding more power the first question is how much re you willing to spend? Ideally For what you want I’d suggest a type1 stroker, something like 1904cc, twin 40’s and mild cam like an Engle W110 with a freeway flyer gearbox. Should make 120ish horsepower with plenty of useable torque for hills and a freeway flyer box will allow you to cruise a long at 65-70mph all day long and return reasonable mpg. A scooby conversion is fitting a Subaru engine, in my eyes they belong in Subaru’s... If everything is engineered, built and maintained properly an bus with an aircooled engine is perfectly reliable. Sadly people seem to ignore basic maintenance then have **** fits when their 50 yr old bus goes wrong. [/QUOTE]
