The Split Screen Van Club

I've just taken delivery of a 1600 twinport/dualport block to replace my 1500 singleport.

I understand that I need to replace the inlet and carb manifolds and also the tinware above the cylinder heads.

Do I need to replace the fan shroud and oil cooler ? And is there anything else I have missed ?

I'm looking for a replacement engine for my 64 Split, it currently has a (broken) 1500 single port.

Without having to upgrade anything, (gearbox/brakes) what size engine can I put in and can anybody recommend or have experience of a good engine builder/supplier ?

I now have indicators, cleaned up all of the earth connections, the fuse box, and replaced the flasher relay!

Thanks for the advice

I really like your colour choice, what are they ?

Here's what happened:- - Changed the starter bush - still clunking - Put in a new starter motor - still clunking - checked timing (ok) - still clunking. - Pulled engine and checked flywheel and discovered a 6v flywheel (109teeth, not the required 130 of the 12v). I changed the flywheel for a 12v and...

I'm going to invest in a new starter motor, which brand should I buy, Delco Remy or Bosch ? or are they equally as good ?

When I turn the key on my 64 bus (1500 singleport), I get a clunk and a whir and it takes a three or four attempts to start the bus and sometimes it wont start at all. (it does eventually when put in gear and rocked a bit) Once started, the bus is running sweetly. I have tried two starters which bot...
