I finally picked up the 1855 i bought a while ago which will become 1855 # 3 in my stable
The waukesha 310 engine was removed and dismantled 4-5 years ago by the PO for a rebuilding that never happened and he had it laying in an uncovered pile under a leanto (Wasn't looking pretty)
Upon inspecting all the pieces it appears the engine is worth rebuilding.(crank needs regrinding but everything else looks not bad)
While i'm at it i like to add a bit more grunt to these rather gutless wonders , so i wonder what needs to be done to get an extra 25 or so ponies from it.
I was toying with the Idea of putting a 5.9 cummins in it but the cost of converting is gonna be a wee bit to steep to my liking.
What do you say?
