Sounds like a sweet donk there. Could you do me a favour and take a pic ( when you get your hands clean)of your fan assisted oil cooler please? It sounds like an interesting piece of kit. Not that the rest of the motor is dull by any means.
Thanks,
David

Bit late but heres some pics.....

Firstly the old engine in the bus....

Engine removed.......

 

[maddog]

New engine waiting 4 fitment.....

A few extra parts to fit too.......

 

[maddog]

Once the engine was removed and gearbox lowered i noticed the brake pipe connecting the 2 rear flexi-hoses was rusty.
Pipe replaced and brakes bled.

Next up was to start on the wiring, so a trip to the shop for some extra wire and connectors was needed.

Rained off for some of the day, i drew out the wiring so once i got started on it id know exactly what was what.

Mean while i decided to clean up the chassis rails and treat them as surface rust had occured.

Probably the most difficult part of the job was to work out how i was going to fabricate an engine support bar as the original one doesnt fit.

This will get sorted later on in the week and then work can continue!
