But, being a stock guy, you would never go to a 1776?

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.

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.
