Pretend you're a doctor and go buy a 3.2 motronic six. Put it in there and be done with it.

You dont get it. I am trying for truck motor, not race motor. I think a Porsche 6 is wasted in a parts hauler. Why not try to make an F1 engine fit and use my bus to haul parts? Same concept. Parts cost is a lot lower for domestic, corvair stuff. It is looking like I may do a Holley 2bbl 350 carb to manifold. I have the manifold, an adapter is $20, and the carb is like $180. I personally hated the last Holley I had on this damn thing....but desperate times = desperate measures. Maybe the 350 will be less temperamental. The corvair guys swear it will work well and be easy. I was leaning toward Eddelbrock 500 due to ease of operation....I am seriously deferring to those that have come before me.

Then stick a sequential turbo 6.4 diesel in there. While you're at it, put a crew cab and a bed on it and add some AC. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

HMmmm, yes parts are cheaper, and your time is worthless, so keep at it. Buy a fuggin 3.2 and move on (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) On second thought, I'm sure Byron would trade you a set of carbs for something (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

Interesting one on ebay (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Volkswagen-Bus-Van...=US_Cars_Trucks All you assholes really want to give me advice about making a choice of more modern stuff (3.2, diesel truck, etc) on a vintage car forum dedicated to a car that is plagued with all kinds of short comings that we are constantly trying to improve, and that is totally impractical to own other than it is really cool? Really? |

The "frankenweldCIS " (I like this designation) was an experiment that I had planned before the carb. Remember, I got the CIS from YOU before the engine was even running. However, I do not have time to refine my monster. I need it moving under its own power. If I can do that for <$500, that is a win (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Besides, once it is running again, I can drive it to you for the roof swap!

It was reverse rotation... could pull the Queen Mary to 50 mph, belt probs was the ultimate demise. Wish it had the corvair trans. Was my first driver in high school (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) all kind a second gear (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) if you could find it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

I got this one up to 100mph.....once. I had a 3.27 r/p in it. It would drag in 2nd up to about 70 and then, all of the sudden, throw you back in your seat and accelerate at a frightening rate. Not comfy above 70. Acts like a sail.
Now, I put in the stock 3.55, the PG is rebuilt, and I have posi. It drives OK, but the CIS system I designed stopped working so well. It went from needing a fine tune to only running at 3krpm. Stopping sucks as if it dies, you are not guaranteed it will restart. I am definitely switching to a carb for the mean time. |
