 volvo conversion pics volvo conversion pics

These are pictures of my current project, a 1980 volvo 2.3L into a 1966 standard 7 passenger bus. The adaption was made using a kennedy adapter plate, and a lot of work. The transmission has been re-geared with a 3.87 R&p as well as welded 3rd and 4th. I am running the exhaust forward with a catalytic converter, for the trees, and a quiet muffler. My radiator is mounted underneath the car, behind the front end with a scoop and electric fan. The clearance, as of now, is 6 inches. Currently I am setting up the cooling system and working on other various problems associated with a water-cooled conversion. Reasone for my conversion include: Better fuel economy, more efficiancy, more power, cleaner air. Prior to this bus I had a 63' westfalia, and unfortunately sold it, but this was do to the reasons mentioned. Now I will have the comforts of a bus, and the reliability, maintenance of a volvo.

Ok, Jim Scartingly just emailed me and asked why I love shortened buses? Look at this picture, and tell me Jim. Would you wanna wake up in anything else but this beauty? Didn't think so. Long is so boring.

01/14/07 Simon Santiago Are there any diagrams or plans on how to properly shorten a bus and redo the tranny, wiring, etc.? I have a 76 Westy that is a "candidate" for shortening.

While I got your attention, I thought I would ask if anyone had a front bumper for my other bus. I have lots of hours into this one, and it sure does pay off when I am out on the streets. The guys love it. This one will really get down the street, so I had to put a wing on it. I didn't like the wing at first, I thought it took from the classic look of the VW.
