pass or pursue?

50's early 60's bus

unknown engine/trans, i know it's a4speed something.

i have a 534 ford with a 5+2 with wet kit
i havea 460 ford 5+2 with wet kit

i do have a wset of cement truck axles for 4wd if it's a concern. i was hoping to stick with 2wd and use the wet kit with a hydraulic winch.

heavy 2" hitch to bumper pull current 1990 SRW k35 4x4 8ft w/350sbc 5sp nv4500 on my 2 axle trailer.

i have plenty of brass 3way valves to do heated floor after heater core? seems like a good idea before floor goes in.

other ideas?
  • well, i was thinking for food and thought.

    534 is freshly rebuilt, and it's a 5+4, (:D). and it's all i got for that engine family.


    i have plenty of 350 sbc, and a very grunty 383 stroker. i have plenty of rental income to feed the tank. i just need somethign to take the boys around the country side in. some places won't allow buses because of size, reason i'm pondering trailing a 1ton behind the bus.

    i'm staying away from torq converters for obvious reasons.
  • 534/wet kit all day long, go for it if offset will handle the pull. Heated floor great idea, all fancy buses have that now
