surely it would be cheaper and less difficult to just recondition or get a new engine of the same year model ?? |

If it is a type one upright type motor in the van you can just switch the tin ware and oil cooler over. Should fit no problem.

Split works OK
I once owned a '61 split SC that had had a caravan type body grafted onto it ( ie a proper motorhome) & type3 twin carb motor. They had done
this so the double ded could be mounted transversely. It gave indredible access but you had to re-make the bed after any work!! A rear cross member
had been made out of angle iron up to take the rear mount.

If it is a late motor there is already an engine brace that has the same holes as on the bay brace just swap over to the Bay brace. An early motor
does not have this support, a special pump cover plate is available that has the holes to mount either T3 or T2 support bars.
