running a Bus with 4x the power at 2x the speed ? you need to cool it!

if you can make sense of the image, here it is, from under the cooler by the torsion bar looking back to the rear cradle and bumper.

this shows the oilcooler where it attaches to the rear torsion bar, the fan is on the top of the cooler pointing down. the pipework runs along the torsion bar and back to a thermostatic switch (for the fan) and a Fram spin on filter then into the block. the cooler is mounted on small tags/tabs welded onto the torsion bar tube at its back and the last crossmember on the pan at its front. 

Also shown in the image is the Berg deepsump, this contains an additional 2.5litres of oil. Inside the case therre is a longer oil pickup tube protruding in to the sump. The additional oil aids cooling and reduces oil foaming. Because I can run a slightly lower oil level the crank is not thrashing in so much oil and reuces foaming more and is less inclined to force oil into the left hand rocker cover under high RPM. With the previous 1776 engine it had no deep sump and under high load the whole left hand side rocker cover and breather system would fill up with oil. 

Here’s a picture of the empty engine bay so you can see the position of the breather box over the original battery. The engine is vented from both rocker covers, the oil filler tube and the blockoff plate over the original fuel pump position.
