Sorry if its in another thread somewhere, Ive got a 1600 sp, thinking of upgrading myself, was looking at a 1641cc but by all accounts not much difference to the 1600, not after all out speed more of keeping up with modern day traffic, is there much difference between 1600 & 1776?, or a t25 2lts or subaru lump?,

i would have gone scooby if i were running stock hight. but they sit a bit too low for lowerd busses.

ive read loads on 1776 not being as quick as expected and a little disapointing but im moving from an old 1.6 sp and dont expect a racer just a bit more power to push the westy along.

really depends on what you want

ive been going round in circles the last 2 weeks and landed with wanting a 1776,just read loads a stuff and avoid the samba,nothing good comes from reading pages and pages of people trying to get one over on each other :lol:

I run a 1776 put together by Laurie Pettit last year, great for bottom end grunt, touring and economical to boot, getting around the 28 mark at a steady 55 to 60 fully loaded with trailer tent in tow, dont have to change down every time I get to a hill. Mine runs engle cam, twin webber 34picts jetted by Laurie and a vintage speed exhaust with Petronix electronic ignition.
I would certainly recommend one, I did a lot of research and this was the ideal size for me, cost about 1900 including new heads barrels and pistons and machining my block and fitting new bearings etc and rejetting my existing carbs. Worth giving Laurie a call he's very informative and a wealth of knowledge.

All sorted now, got me a good deal on the one up there^
