Aircooled engine question

Post by **camperclan** » 09 May 2006, 21:31

Should have some spare cash in the next few months so we want to give our van a bit more grunt especially for towing large trailer or caravan. We have a 2 litre cu Aircooled lump approx 100k still runs well (famous last words!) Do we modify it or build an engine want to stay Aircooled who do i contact? Or any suggestions? Cheers Nick.

Any one? This was a question i was going to ask, fed up with slowing right down at every hill & been overtaken by LDV vans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thought about a scooby engine, obviously alot of work involved to become watercooled so who is the best person to see re a modified air cooled?

i would get a big bore engine and a new carb(s) from big boyz toys at lease you will get a 12 month warranty and you can fit it straight away or have it fitted there

Does your engine have any problems?
Do you use a lot of oil?
Unleaded?
Any modifications?
How much cash do you want to spend?
