Gary - I have two projects going on, for now.  One's my $100 '70 Kombi
I'm trying to fit two 1200cc Harley Hog engines into.  Thanks to Unca
Joel & John (Blue Eyes), I've got a workable belt drive from the Harley
engines to the shaft of the Van's tranny.  Joel's working on a computer
program from the engineering department at the University of Alabama to
come up with the exact phase needed to link both the Harley engines
together for minimum vibration, WITHOUT sacrificing that gorgeous Harley
sound!

My other project involves installing the Chevy 4.3L V-6 into a Vanagon!
Neat engine!!!  Pistons, rods and bearings are straight Chevy 350V-8
stuff.  Computer, TPI, etc. are inexpensive AMERICAN components.  Plus,
it's rock solid.  With the price of gasoline CHEAPER now than it has
ever been within the United States, I'm not looking for gas mileage.
I'm looking for something that I can replace a piston in for about the
same amount of bucks I spend at Pizza Hut!

'85GL - becoming more & more American!
