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.

Is that a range rover motor???

yep! all alloy.

Looking good! :thumb

Looks tuff mate,

very cool. how low will you be able to go thoug, with the engine sticking out the bottom?

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.

your a step ahead of me ive removed my bull bars havent painted yet
soon to be dropped 5 inches from standard height
Hey how much did it cost you for the merc rims and to fit stud pattern?

56ovaltine the rim go straight on actually the rims are for sale (the ones in the fourth pic) i'm after about $350 they have excellent tyers and the fronts are orig white walls and the back have newish firestones on them (no retreads) they are in the western suburbs of Sydney not too far for you to come!

wacked i remeber your car from the nats me and like 4 mates went out and had a squiz at it very tuff looking bus man should look the part once she gets slammed :bounce

thanks mate. BTW it was good catching up with you guys, the wheels make it look a lot better, spesh when she gets slammed.
thanks

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.

Cant wait.

Still kicking myself that I had to sell that bus........ Still you sound like you deserve and appreciate it !!

thats an extremely quick paint job, how long did it take you?

about 10 mins and $20.

hows she go on juice dude??:beer

hopefully better than when I owned it !!!!

It used to get about 200kms from 40L.........

looking good man, was nice to meet u and ovaltine at the nats
good luck with the kombi

VWFOOL Ditto, I don't worry about the fuel costs, the pleasure it get driving it over shadows that.

great bus mate..............
i suppose that goes without saying

man i love that kombi
and love the paint matt black and white looks cool
and with the v8 just sweet
great stuff !

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.
