    Thanks, I've owned the bus for 31 yrs. Here's a link to the turbo transplant: http://www.roonuts.com/index.php?page=turbo.
    I'm starting my research into converting the front suspension to the ERP935 with Smart Racing FoxShock setup (if I can find one).

    Packaging nightmare, but seems to be well executed.

    What're you doing about the oil cooling?

    Wheelies are fun, huh?

    Thumbs up

    Nice job Harold........

    We had one of these conversions in a bus here in SoCal.... It brought BIG smiles and admiration on some of the fun runs....

    AND, from the bottom of the bumper to the top of the windshield, it was the very best insect killer on the planet...........

    Cheers and well done,
    Chuck

    mr9146: I have BAT cooler mounted under the chassis. Oil temp is normally 210, and occasionally goes to 220. Go to my link, all the mods are well documented.
    Thanks Chuck.
