This is my new ride it’s a 78 Kombi with a 4.4L V8. It looks a little rough now but as soon as I get it will remove
the wheels 15” merc wheels. Do some body work lower it as it is raised at the moment and give it a quick coat of matt black I'm also thinking of
putting silver racing stripes on it till it gets it propper paint scheme.

Actually, this conversion doesn’t hang down as much as my last V6 or any scoobys I've seen. I'm loosing the rear tow bar and redesigning the exhaust before it gets there, twin 4 inch outlets about 60cm apart.

excellent !!!!
Cant wait to see your dyno results ! - I always got the feeling that there is a heap more power hidden in that motor - hopefully you can unleash some of it......
Rims are sweet !
Will sound the goods with the exhaust you are describing too !!!!
When finished, make sure you get some video footage up on the web somewhere please !
Yes Doug there is a lot of potential especially seeing the distributor is shot and the exhaust is killing it and the inlet manifold and carbie are a little small. Will get some video of it soon, maybe on the dyno or in a back street.

I got these for the bus today I have been toying with the idea of turbos or supercharger, turbos won. The set up is a twin turbo off a supra, but I won’t "just" be running these. Will let you know a little more later, gotta go.
