Has "the porsche engine" means 2.0 I am guessing.

If it was some other time in my life, maybe. Looks like a bunch of body work.

Thought you might want that automatic transmission. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

FINALLY! I just got back from the machine shop and have my freshly cut barrels. This step took so long due to the first machinist disappearing. I got a call this AM and the second machinist, a good guy named Gregg, told be that the last barrel cracked when they were cutting it.....he said not to worry. This was this AM. This afternoon he had sourced one from a local ACVW place, and modified it perfectly to match. Good dude. Now the others look bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Too many projects, too little time. I worked on the Guzzi today. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Probably tomorrow the jugs will be refitted. Then, I need to open up the second head. Then....Then.....Then....

I had some time to think about the bus today. I am seriously annoyed with the wiring, and the last time I had it out it completely died. I am interested in just putting in a new harness and universal fuse panel. One option that I have found is at this place:
http://www.keepitcleanwiring.com/products/wire-harness-kits/

They dont have a specific set for the bus and the only problem I can see is that the engine stuff will have to be lengthened to match the placement of it in the back. PRO15 is supposed to be the kit I need. Who knows.

I also will be installing a plug to the engine so that the whole engine wiring can be run through one plug to the frame. This will clean the compartment and allow for quick install and removal.

If I could only afford a Raychem IR gun I would be set (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Anyone else know of universal fuse panel vendors? I could just do the fuse panel and not all of the wires.

The only problem with a universal kit is most German cars use isolated left and right side lighting. Most universal kits do not. They are wired like an American car. If you can buy just the fuse panel and fix you harness, you will be better off.

The tube under the bus that the wiring runs in is rusted through on the bottom and a chaffing hazard for my wires. I am thinking of replacing with galvanized conduit, but this would require cutting the harness. I did find fuse panel only solutions, and may just rewire it myself. The wiring for the universal kit would not be too hard to adapt, but at $300 I think I can do as well with a more perfectly fit kit.

I need to get the wiring done before the big freeze. Then I can put the engine in.

Hey, it is nice to see another bus owner on here. I have a 1970 tintop Westy that I've been restoring. The problem with that project is that I bought my first 914 back in September and the bus has not been touched since. I have a 2110cc stroker to build and want to pick up a late model 6 rib transaxle to take advantage of the additional power for hwy driving. These old busses make great parts haulers and weekend escape vehicles.

The latest that I did was to start hogging out the other head. When that is done, smoothed, CCed, then I will assemble the engine and begin the fab on the CIS system. Also, my compressor is putting out water so I need to drain it and install a water trap before I proceed.

The Moto Guzzi engine needed some love as I was running out of places to put parts and decided that "together" was a better place than most.

Soon, very soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Got busy working on the second bus head tonight. I hate doing this head work, but it is worth it in the end. I just keep going into the garage and sanding/polishing the chambers....as soon as they are done I can get it together. I hope I didnt goof up the seats by hitting them with the grinder (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

DAMNIT! In my haste to finish this last head to get the engine to the assembly stag, I slipped with the grinder and boogered at least 2 seats. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) This is gonna such. I know they need reground, then the springs will have to be adjusted. Or, they will have to be replaced (ouch). Maybe I should get my own cutters for this? Maybe I should get my head examined? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
