New engine build
Hi Poeple
I am quite new to this group so please be kind ! I am planning on building my first engine. I have read loads on the net on how to ... performance this ... lightened fly wheel etc etc. A few times I have come across the statement " but dont do this if its going in a bus" ! So my question is this - what would be a good design, from carb though to exhaust for my new engine. I want not so much power/speed but tough reliable cruising at 70 - 80 MPH. Good MPG would be high on my list to. I have read that a "square engine" ( stroke equal to bore ) is good for fuel econ. Small inlet is good for busses ? Keep your flyweel heavy (180) etc. I will be using a spare 1300 dual port as my donar. Any good sites I might have missed ( for bus engines ). I would prefer type 1 as there doesnt seem to be that much info on type 4 ) Ta Rich 64 1600 split bus daily driver , 68 1300 bay bus, 78 2000 bay bus, 70 1200-70 1300 71 1300 and 72 1300 bugs. |
