[QUOTE="K@rlos, post: 635959, member: 4304"] What sort of ‘big engine’ are you looking at? A nice smooth torquey cruiser or a high revving traffic light / 1/4 mile terror? As ozzy says the inlet manifold for the vac take off, just be aware an engine with a rowdy camshaft which has a lot of overlap causes exhaust gas reversion and affects cylinder filling at idle and low speed. Poor vacuum is side effect of this so a remote vacuum pump may be required if you go that route. The 2 areas people normally struggle with when putting a performance engine in a bay is the oil system and the exhaust due to the rear engine bar. I’ve put a lot of big engines of various flavours in 68-71 buses including my own nitrous 2276 so if you have any questions feel free to pm me 😀 [/QUOTE]
