Go with a cw crank and a mild cam too but it will starve above 5000 rpm.

They cruise Ok up to about 60-65, which is about as fast as I want to drive a
stock sprung bus. But, if I were building an engine for them and still
wanted to look stock I would build a single port 1600 with a dog house
for cooling. Westies are also a lot heavier than panel vans or even
a nornal kombi or deluxe so a little extra power to pull all of the weight
would be nice.

A turbo single port 1500 would be cool.

are judged by a group of competent judges. As for the class awards,
they are done by peoples choice and you may have a group of people who
have no idea of the difference between a bay window and a split window
voting on your class. I am taking my 65 westy that is restored to
about as close to original as you can get. I will probably get
beaten in camper class by someone with one that is painted purple and
pink with an Arab tent, empi 5
spokes and deluxe trim because they are prettier.
