That teal bus and trailer look cool.
Can they be fitted with a realistic modern motor?
How far can you go toward current motors before the purists start yelling?
No disrespect intended, but I've driven later models, and I wouldn't want to hitch a trailer to 'em.
Any hill or headwind and you're stopped.

There's tons of 'hot rod' engines that can be run. A good 1600cc dual port will move along pretty well. Next step would be 1776 or 1800, but if you want to do wheelies you can go to 1914cc and up. These guys build all kinds of turn key motors.

This ones got my attention big time. I prefer the 'tin top', and this is a really clean example.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

My bus motor was a ground-up brand new Gene Berg case and crank. Stroked crank. Put out just over 1900cc. The crank was fully balanced and blueprinted.
I used the dual Kadron carbs that Berg sold. I wanted to try his EFI setup that he developed, but never did it.
Berg modified the case to use a full flow oil filter, with a bypass at the pump. It was incredible. I used an Oberg mesh filter with the sensor. All stuff that Gene Berg used in his drag cars.
Heads were flycut to keep compression lowish, i think it was around 8:1 with that stroker crank. But it ran very smoothly. Gene set me up with a matching cam profile that kept it streetable. It was such a work of art.
