1969 VW Bus Engine Swap and Suspension Modificaitons at the V8 Speed and Resto Shop

This 1969 Volkswagen Bus looks sweet, but is woefully underpowered. The owner wishes the V8 Speed Team to swap in a far more powerful water-cooled Subaru 4-cylinder eninge for better performance and economy. A new suspension system will allow the VW to lay low, but drive safely at ride-height going down the road. New wiring will keep the Type 2 safe as well.
