Yes, I can build you an engine to "look" stock. but still get down the highway
at a reasonable pace.

Well what I would do given an unlimited budget would be a new AS 41 case, build
it as a single port 1600, put a doghouse cooler on it and dress it with tin
just as an original engine and from a looks standpoint it would look just like
it came from the factory except for the engine # on the case. Put the correct
tin on it with the PIC 30 carb, correct air cleaner, bus governor and no one
would ever be able to tell the difference by looking at the engine. You would
have a little more power from the 1600 as opposed to the 1500 and it will run
cooler with the doghouse. Turnkey from one of our engine builders you are
probably looking at $2,500+. If you want to find a used rebuildable H case and
scrounge the swaps and other sources for used parts you can probably knock a
$1,000 off of that. If you could find a used rebuildable complete H case
engine, such as out of the bus in Bryan I am sure that Mark would be happy to
rebuild the engine ready to install for the $1,500.
But the guy in Bryan has never answered my e-mail and to my knowledge has not
answered Ronnie either.

I'd like to go with a 1500 possibly a 1600. The motor in that pic looked
mostly complete and I thought it would be a good start for a project.
I'm not expecting to find the correct motor number of the bus, but I would like
something that would have a stock appearance.

40 hp is not correct for an SO-42. H case single port 1500 is the correct
engine.

Jeff: How specific do you want to be?. I may be able to find you an H case.
How close do you need to be on motor number? Other than the H case and the
motor # you can make any 1500/1600 motor look correct for the SO-42 fairly
easily.

Interesting. The broken glass in the rear hatch might have doomed the
cabinets. I have an so-42 resto project, I'll still need a period specific
motor. If someone buys this and doesn't need the motor then let me know.
Of course, I hope it's restorable and not turned into parts.

Yeah. I know you do.
I e-mailed the guy about the camper which appears to be an
SO-42 Westy. Have not heard back from him. The
Westy appears that it could be a resto candidate depending
on condition and completeness. Why don't you see
if you can contact him and go
look. --- On Sat, 6/27/09,
