PS- can you refresh our memories as to engine specs (or even better, giving us the link to the build thread)?
@ALB, the original post I did for the motor build kind of went sideways so I didn't make any updates.
The motor crankcase has a stock crankshaft and camshaft, it's a 1776cc motor, MAHLE 90.5 pistons. The heads were fly cut machined by Brother's VW Machine Shop down in Ontario, CA. It was port(s) matched to the original Kadron 40/44EIS dual carburetors it has with, 3/4" spark plugs, 12mm, 3 angle valve grind.
I'm now installing a set of dual Weber 40 IDF carbs and the MagnaSpark II distributor setup. I also have a set of dual EMPI's carbs but decided not use them.
Once I get this motor running properly I plan on building a second motor just like it. (I'm looking for an AS41 case if you know of anyone selling one). I'm going to install the 2nd motor into my 67' bus.
Here's a couple of blogs I have. It helps me document what I've done to my rides. I've done this since 1995, before that pencil and notepad.
I have a question!
I'm wanting to install the tin sleds that are below the engine. I currently have J-tubes and Miller dual exhaust so no heater boxes. How do you mount the side that is not attached to the crank case?
Also, what breather box do you recommend?
Thank you for any input you can provide!
