Breakfast was awesome.

What was the final oil count. How many quarts did it take to go to Austin and back.

you should see my windshield..

3 on the way back, but I think I'm over a quart low

Next weekend I'm pulling the motor and swapping tranny's, tear the motor down to a long block and clean it then freshen up the top end a little. It seems to have good oil pressure and the motor runs super cool so I'm going to forgo a full rebuild.

U got BALLS to drive the bus!

Haha I agree , but it's a cool bus , I'm glad it made it

awesome!! I'm glad it made it there and back

My plan was to seal up the oil leaks on the motor and just roll it like it is, well fate decided to give me a big push towards doing a upright type 4 conversion. Enjoy the pics of the carnage.

number 1 cylinder area of the case:



number 3 cylinder area of the case:



The new plan is to do a Joe Cali style upright conversion on that 1.7L 914 motor that I just picked up. In the meantime I'm going to just JB weld up those cracks and change the rear main seal and roll it till I have the 1.7 ready.

Ouch

and my day keeps getting better and better



I JB welded it all up but that is only a temporary fix at best, I got to sleep on it but I might just take the plunge and put something a lot more reliable into it...I got to sleep on this decision. Let me know if you know of a good used 1600 sp or dp motor.
