That 412 was rough, so I harvested the hard to find parts for some friends and it is now likely part of a Ford F150. The nest that I found was sold in 2007 and leveled... The cars were hauled to scrap, so I saved the ones I have in the nick of time. I am working on two other buses in fields right now, and lament as they rust away... Chris,

As for the engine, use my contact form to get a hold of me... I have a mechanic to recommend, but he doesn't like his name out there. Kevin,

Or should I go with one of these national engine swap companies? Kevin Sage,

I am in a similar predicament as well , primarily concerned w Porsches , and fortunate enough to be wedded to a wonderfully and equally enthused woman who drives and enjoys CARS . My collection of vehicles at present consists of 13 whole , complete , registered and running/driven vehicles , including a '66 21 wndw. deluxe Lotus white , purchased in '90 for $4K that was originally a PSA airport shuttle in Hawaii and a '57 Oval Rag top Baja bug which is a shop car and pickup sans passenger seat . I post to you to share the pain of the pleasure in the "Pursuit" , as my 21 is not a walk thru and i'm seeking the necessary section from one so that i may graft it into mine . Not sure if i've posted to the proper place but hope some good may come of it/this . Our collection includes many early Porsches { '54 1500S coupe ,'55 Speedster , '55 Spyder Beck #001 , 3 356 C coupes , '67 911S , wifes '00 Boxster } a couple Jags { '50 Mk 5 RHD Salon , '65 E Type 4.2 Roadster } and my truck and bikes {'04 F250 Turbo Diesel and Ducati S4R , & Harley XR 1000 } blah blah blahhh i also have a few bicycles , 14 ?! and a few surfboards ... and a stamp collection from the '60's ! Please inform me as to the possibility of finding a walkthru clip for purchase in the San Diego vicinity {SW USA} . Thanks for what you do and for sharing the pleasure . s I have enjoyed reading some of your stories relating to life and the “pursuit” .

What shop did you take it to? Also, I would suggest that you use the contact form in the future. Ryan,

I blew my first and second gear, but 3rd and 4th still work. I brought to a shop and the guy said it is not worth fixing...... I LOVE MY BUS, I was wondering if you know anywhere where I could find a tranny or even tranny parts. I think it is just the selector fork for 1st and second, but I am not sure where I would get this part either. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a 1969 Westfalia.
