The original gasser was a 292 six, revved over 4K rpm at 55-60 mph and gulped fuel at 5-6 mpg. A tall block 427/466 or a 350 could have been an option, oh well.

My 1970 C40/Thomas bus has steering wobbles even after steering and suspension rebuild. Any luck working on these beasts and their handling issues?
