Cummins no good?
Oi doc. You know where the horticultural college is near Penrith? Keep on that road into village before the road drops down on right is a guy that breaks big stuff. He has cummins engines with gearboxes.

Newton rigg ?
Yarp kinda ish……….might pop up at some point and have a butchers but currently got the little RV8 block to dump in.
If I get bored of that I may see about getting another engine or building a custom toy starting with mounting the engine into the chassis with gearbox etc then build a fender body round it
Not allowed to bring engine projects to strip at uni but can bring other stuff to build
this might be pushing the limit though!

Yeah Newton rigg. That's where my cottage was for holiday. He offered me a cummins with gearbox. May have been turbo'd as it had been in a bin lorry. Was sat on a pallet. He also breaks landys for cheap bits for farmers

may be worth a call then see if he has anything decent in stock!
Wouldn't mind a decent battery off a bin lorry if its 12v, would make starting the V8 easy work

Yeah he has all sorts. Was breaking a defender 200tdi with crash damage when I was there. Wouldn't split the manifold from the engine

You remember the name ?
If so will give him a call as it might be a decent way to get a battery and possibly a snorkel if he has one knocking about

Really cba making a snorkel
Got the bumper and sliders to finish (hopefully about 4 hours more in total, welding is fast then test fit and sort out slider pieces), your brackets to finish off, a lead shot dripper, a sump guard, winch tray and a small patch on my bulkhead left to do
Rather jam packet right now

The line of the pillar and where through into engine bay should be same as mine? I might have a go, would have thought there would be pipe bending and forming in that workshop.
