Hi Jim,Thanks for your message. We do have all the major engine manufacturers here and from what I know now cats/Volvo’s / Cummins/ would cost us about 160 k au and the yanmars would be about 40 k cheaper. We don’t want to spend this amount of money. We intend purchasing older engines / 8v 92 Detroit’s or we think that 60 series Detroit’s may be good ?? Whatever we get we will 100 % recondition so we don’t have any problems in the future. We are open for suggestions though. The 8v 71 need rebuilding and as you know very thirsty. I own an engineering company and I’m a Deisel mechanic by trade and Mick D the other owner has experience in medical gas and equipment installation and has done quite a bit of spray painting etc, so we should have most of the skills required.Regards Mick C
