So speak to a few people about what you want from the van and how you will be using it to get done recommendations. The combinations of crank throw and bore size can give you a lot of options, but you need to consider the cam profile, the heads and clave plus rocker assemblies, definitely get full flow filtering, but what about an external supplementary oil cooler. Then your choice of carbs etc... You can always go to a reputable engine builder to have something built to your own spec. It all adds up.On the gearbox, I am considering changing from my standard 71 box to something longer, but so far most if my miles are on A and B roads (also single track up in the highlands) so I would not really get the use if the longer gearing.I have a 1955cc engine and the box can handle it ok, but I don't drop the clutch hard on it.Sent from my GX64 SatCom phone using Tapatalk</blockquote>
