I did a 1641 with a little added cam, pict 34 and electronic ignition. But as
earlier stated front disc brakes with a dual circuit is essential.

Type 4 2 liter is a whole pandora's box. Stay with a 1600 with reduction
gears and drive it. You can do all that stuff later.

At first I was told to not go bigger than a 1915 then a builder said I
should put in a type 4 2ltr. I probally will just build a solid 1600 and
cruise it around.

Yeah buses are very different from beetles in the engine cooling
department. You want high RPM's which the reduction gears give you.

Sweet looks like I will be doing brakes. Other than changing my shifter
the trans works fine I was just told that it was a good idea that to
upgrade the trans. I have only owned a bug or two and a fastback in the
past this 63 single cab was a dream for a long time.

I have been wanting to get the Oldspeed brake kit on my bus for quite a
while. Mainly because I just get tired of adjusting drums all the time.

The disc brake conversion was easy to do and makes the bus so much easy
to stop even with the trailer behind me running 65-70 on the highway
with reduction boxes but I did change the ring and pinion from 433 to a
388 gear

Be careful of big engine and freeway flier as it can make your engine
run too fast to keep it cool. Check with some experts to get the full
explanation but the bus was never intended to go over 55-60 mph.
I would be interested in hearing more about your experiences with disc
brakes. I am also looking to install disc brakes on the front to help
with the RV trailer I pull. The older I get the less I care about
'keeping it real' and the more about safety & comfort.
We will also be cruising to Eureka Thursday from Austin area and you
are welcome to cruise with us. Where are you located?

No nothing at i was just told i should switch it out for a freeway
flyer and upgrade to an irs. As far as engine i just wanted to get
something a little bigger like a 1776 but was told go bigger for the
towing power. I am upgrading the brakes to disc at least in the front.

Actually reduction gears are pretty good for daily drivers. The
engine will run nice and cool.
Is there something wrong with the swing axle that's already there?

Right now i am trying to figure out whether to replace the swing axle
with an irs trans and what size engine to upgrade to. This is my
daily driver so not trying to race it. I was told i should go to a
2ltr or even get a type 4 engine and trans

That is cool. I am the proud owner of a 63 single cab. I am looking
forward to cruising with you all and anyone else. I will be looking
for advice since this is my first type 2.
