well that motor looks like you could use it as a giant paper weight

. i would try to find one that at least runs. you would be happier down the long road. theres a 69 or 70 bay sitting down the street from my parents place not sure if they want to sell but its a pop top westy from what i can tell cant see inside because they are using it as a mobile storage unit

but i could give it a check. it has no visible rust from the out side

Wow Spence that thing is cherry! It's also about 3x my budget for Uber Geizig, which is too bad cause that's a really nice camper. For 4500 that rust would need to be fixed and at least have an OEM antenna and OEM side mirrors. Prices seem to be really overinflated on these campers and transporters.

But I think you should go back and read the challenge in the OP.

Hey 4est, would the FI setups you mentioned that you are holding on to have enough parts to replace the burnt up mess on that orange/white '75? Or would that '72 motor swap into a '75 if the FI was bypassed?
