Go airheads!!! ;-)

My only interest in an engine conversion is reliability and pulling power. we towed the '77 westy home with the '80 westy, buuut next time would rather have a bit more grunt for that! I thnk the '84 may do that job better...so it's slow! ;-) If I wanted to go fast I'd have kept the audi! or will ride the Duc! ;-)
