I am expecting to be pulling the trigger on my 1st early anyday now. I have a couple of buses short listed in my head but 3 of them are 1600cc and 1 is a 1641cc. The primary use is going to be for occasional short local trips around the valley that I live in(lots of steep hills) and camping holidays. We are a family of 4 and do not travel lightly and struggle for room in our current T5 so a trailer is going to be in tow also. Can a 1776cc engine go straight in as a swap or do I need to then uprate the gearbox and clutch? All the buses I'm looking at are good mechanically so I'm guessing I could p/x with whoever does the work? Can someone tell me if this is the right lines to be thinking along and what its going to roughly end up costing me? Another critical question is, which is the most reliable and offers best mpg? Thanks guys
