I sure like your bus Paul sense seeing it I have been torn between putting a 2.7L 911 engine in my SC or the setup you have The only reason I can do the 911 engine is I have a friend with it I can get it cheep it sure would make a nice sound but the V6 would make more power and cheaper to rebuild. _________________ where its cold and snowy |

These are so cool, I am excited now to get started on mine. It needs alot but I just am in love with it, I want to customize the insides, and I wonder what others have done. Can we see pics of your interiors folks? Especially the roof area, lets see the high top interior decor! _________________ 1971 Deluxe Sunroof Bay 1905 stroker, dual idf40's, 74mm Scat forged crank, engle 110 cam.

I think your signature needs an update. How many buses do you have these days?
This is a picture of my bus with a 1971 westy high top . Not quite factory but it is cool.
