Hi All,

I've got a '74 (built in late '73) Bay Window that I found on a farm down South. The bus itself is in pretty good shape. The original motor though is long gone and in it's place is a dual port 1600 from an earlier bus or bug with the doghouse fan. I haven't gotten the engine running yet but if I do, will this bus be ok with this motor or would it be better with the pancake type fan that it had originally? I've heard that I may not be able to get itto stay cool enough. Anyone ever done this type of swap? Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Brian

use search on your question. This issue comes up about once a week.
