Porche engine? naw, that's a hangar engine, I had a porch engine oncet sat on the porch for some time. But folks I dunna think that 3.2 is a waterboxer design so you'll trade your waterheating for whatever you can find to substitute. MSDS years ago did a similar conversion. Called it the Road Panzer. Put that porch pup in a nice aircoolt 82 and woweee mikey it do fly. Hooking up the heat exchangers should be a peas of cake for those handy with sheet metal. You'd then have a spiffy 83 westy that will get out of it's own way p |
