Hello all!
I might be interested in having a new split window bus project. I previously had a 1972 Super which was a somewhat easy project but the bus might prove more to be more involving...
First, I heard those barely go to 60 mph. What mods can be done to up this to say 65 or 70 mph? That's the difference between enough and not enough! :)
So far I heard about "freeway flyer" transaxle (or is it the 4th gear only?), 1968 Beetle "straight axle" or IRS axle transplant.
Anyone could write about or steer me to relevant infos web pages on that subject?
Am I right to think that the reduction boxes were there to accomodate the smaller 1300 and 1500 engines and that a 1600 or biger would have enogh ooomph to push the bus without the reductions boxes? Did the
68-71 buses had them?On to another matter, sad pictures of my previous, now burned down '72 Super are now online at
