Thanks again guys… this is awesome!! I'm building it for long trips within WA for work… The old busses are perhaps a little more capable than people think.

Re: 2.6 Power Expectations

Cheers for the input guys… awesome. Ill see what my mate whose doing the rebuild says… He's exceptionally competent with rebuilds - Mine won't be a stock rebuild but he mostly deals in the realms of 600 to 1100 hp motors… Nothing compares to the experiences a lot of you guys have had with the 2.6's ...

I haven't looked at an electric water pump but i have relocated the radiator and the condenser in front of the va...

Re: 2.6 Power Expectations

Thanks lancer… What compression would be a good target you think 9 to 9.5:1 ??? Also, how far can you bore these blocks??? I've heard people increasing bore / stroke to 2.9L… My aim is torque and reliability. I think standard the wall thickness is 10mm between cylinders…
