yes to both blue741, but mike at CBB ha got the honours of building it, when i DECIDE.
and wes i have thought long and very hard. was thinking about one of those v6's out of the eunos. but where to put the radiator and other little
puzzles and the on going objections of "no not in a splitty" has taken its toll. did think maybe mount a radiator and thermo fan inside one
of the side louvers.............

With good planning and a bit of thought, you should be able to get a radiator to work just about anywhere. Mine is above my gearbox and works fine. It
is very well disguised.
I think one of the indian buses run their radiated in a similar position.
The Eunos 30X has a 1.8lt version of my motor. Which Eunos you talking about?

It's the same size as the 2.0 and 2.5lt version. So you might as well go for the 2.5lt version.
Size;
A bit longer, but should fit a kombi. Bit of cutting in a splitty.
The main prob is the intake throttle body and distributor hang over the gearbox, which I believe would be into the fuel tank on a kombi?
Probably too much trouble in the end. But the results are very nice.

Well i think unless you want to keep it fairly original why not go with a newer fuel injected and water cooled motor. Yeh it is more work as I have
found out but i believe the benifits will outweigh the extra work. |
