Hellbus had an 1800 lump for sale for quite a while, check him out and see if he still has it. He is a Melbourne dubber like you.
look at this page

haha thanks fellas, yeah i have u2u'd helbus and the motor is still for sale, unfortunately he flew to cuba or something this morning and won’t be
back for a month.
I am trying to turn this into a positive by taking the time to build a nice motor and while the bus is not running might as well paint her too.
the only problem is the bank manager...
I am asking for a raise at work tomorrow and if successful I will see it as a sign to go ahead with the plan

why don't you spend the month fixing the paint and slot the hellbus motor in next month?
It is the entire engine for $500, a bargain I reckon.

yeah, helbus's engine is defienately a option, I am just considering going the whole hog and getting an engine I know is built well and has warranty
etc.
I don't have a great deal of knowledge or work space so i will be paying for labour either way.
I am not sure what condition my engine is in, but you are welcome to the salvagable parts, i am in melbourne of course so postage may kill you..
it makes me smile to know the parts will live on somewhere else

Is that your bus that is normally parked just off Park St in North Fitzroy wezley?
If so I admire it most days on my way to work, I live on White St and drive a blue and white bay.

Yeah, it is Euro Car Crash Repairs at 300 Lygon St (just north of Glenlyon Rd). ph. 9387 9027. The guys name is George.
I tried a bunch of places around here but since it was a pretty small job they were all pretty uninterested and some just clearly didnt want to work
on old cars. I drove past this place and George was working on this nice red Mustang and was really interested in my bus when he saw it and did a
really nice job and great colour match.
Cheers
Tim
