Oh man, I can't imagine those engine parts are still available from Cummins, I don't have a clue where you'd source that, might have to get creative and make them. But I do hope you get it sorted out, the very first big truck I learned to drive was a 1962 White 4000 with a C180 naturally aspirated with Fuller 5 x 4 Quadraplex. That little 180 with no turbo and exhaust going through a straight through muffler, damn that thing would sing when you peg it on the governor grading a hill, had an amazing tone.

No such luck PP, engine was setting upright but had since tipped over on left side, damaging
the fuel rails.

Me and this damned electronic whiz are not seeing eye to eye. Any way this eng is in a 67 fwd snow fighter all. Intact except the fuel system the pump is missing as well as the rusted out lines i have a pump that could be set up for a 180 . the fwd belongs to a friend we both want to hear it run so any part of the fuel lines we can find would help

This what it needs to look like?

We've got a old engine core place somewhat local, I can check next time I'm there. What kind of $$ are you hoping to stay under?

I have serious doubts whether or not average counter parts salesman at cummins would even know what we were talking about

Gippsland Truck Wrecking in Morwell, Victoria, Australia, have a set available for AU$660, which is around US$430.

You could always ask them if they would post them to the U.S., and what the postage cost would be.
If they won't post to the U.S., maybe another HEF member in Eastern Victoria could assist in getting them to you.



We don't throw out or scrap a lot of this old stuff, a lot of it's still running here. I've got at least 2 friends with C160 Cummins in their 60's International trucks, still purring along.

It’s just a picture of a whole engine that I found, I wanted to be sure I was looking for the right parts.

I’ll see if my core guy has any parts next time I’m over his way.

1995-30 years has past, These companies want to sell new not support crap they built ages ago.
If you were to buy every part for a Big Cam Cummins From Cummins new at this point, one
complete engine would cost in the neighborhood of $75,000.
