His engine will hit 5000 rpm easy. |
Sure it will. Just pointing out the question, "Does he really want to, or need to?".

Hmmm... Yes he does!
I like to drive my van and i like to drive it hard.
I will have it propery tuned in the next two months or so, this might help to bring the heat down a bit. |

Then just expect to do more repairs and rebuilds. That is the price of driving it hard.

Whatever happened with the Zenith Carburetor?
|
It's still lying around. I had several reasons to change plans, first of all i found it hard to get the unit complete. Tuning is also hard and jets are not that easy to come by.
Besides that it has an intake without proper pre-heat and Zenith has no auto-choke. At last, i would have to fabricate an intake elbow. So too much hassle for minimum extra performance. |

Yeah, I hear what your saying. I could not get my dual port to idle right with the Solex 34, I would imagine with that CB-2239 Cam a lot like the W-100 I used yours may not idle very well either. I think I will go to dual carbs of some kind on mine. Oh by the way I Like your photos and videos.

| Idle was a problem on my engine too. It's a lot better with a proper solex instead of the bocar i used before... |

Wow, that stinks. I hope you are able to resurrect the pics, as your thread had a lot of good reference stuff in it, iirc. |

Just re-read your thread, glad most of the pictures are back.
Beautiful bus, you did a killer job! Nothing like camping in an so-35 
BTW, thank you again for the deal on the curtains for my flipseat. They are the finishing touch that it needed.
