V730 Upgrade	Gary	7-5-99
Any of you Bus Nuts out there know anything about swapping out the 2 speed VH for a V730 into a '63 GMC 4519(same bus in the movie Speed and the new Porche Boxster TV ad) with a 6V71N? I have agood source for various year V730's that were primarily in RTS's from early '80's to '94. Any input would be great. If someone needs a V730, let me know...

The bulkhead needs to be cut and reinforced by the drive shaft. Near as I can tell there are two v730's one is a v7303 in has a 1.04 overdrive the same as a vh2 so top speed whould be the same. The v730 has a .875 overdrive this changes top speed a lot. I have a formula to figure speed. first take RPMS x overdrive take that RPM run formula. It's tire height x RPM divided by gear ratio x 336 equals speed my email is sewcray@pivot.net let me know how you make out. Bob
