Default Back in the game....sort of.

Well, I sealed the deal on a new motor on saturday. We are just hashing out the payment details. I wont get the thing for about 3 weeks is what I am guessing. I came up with the cash to buy the motor but not quite enough to get it shipped (300-400). So for those of you that were interested in some of the stuff I had, please get back to me. I still have the STB, Carpet and the radio and CD changer.

The motor is a '98 cam only motor. Its last dyno made 417rwhp through a TH350, 5000 stall (unlocked), 5.xx gears and "31 slicks. Has an upgraded oil pump, pushrods, underdrive pulley, Cloyes adjustable timing set with JWIS chain, TREX cam with double valve springs. Its last pass it went high 10's and with better tuning could probably get into the mid 10's. Not that I am going to even attempt that though.

I have everything else minus the intake (Mark has offered up his LS1 intake until I get a LS6 or 90mm "Thanks bro"), throttle body and headers.

I am going to go the "el cheapo" route on just about everything just to get the car running. So if anyone has any of the above mentioned parts they are looking to unload, no matter what the condition is please get ahold of me. I would really like to see this thing on the road before summer is over and especially before we move into the new house in late Aug.

OUTSTANDING!!! Let me know when you want the intake. And I have your old TB here too that Steve let me borrow the blade off of....it's back on now. Talk to him about it. And my coil kit is in transit, so you can have yours back whenever you need them.

We need to find a source for a few long Taylor wires. Maybe Jay Fisher could hook us up. I need one blue one & you need 3 red ones. I'll call him & see what he says.

That's really great to hear, Boyce! I know how much you've been going nuts not having the car running... Good to see you're finally starting to see the light at the end of that dark tunnel.

As for the coil packs, I dont know if I can put them back on my car. Last I heard they were......*gasp* CLEAN! Dont know how well that would go with my long standing motief of "dusty".

I have a head unit and a 6 disc changer that Doug wanted but never heard back from him. I have my grey carpet that one of you guys said you wanted when I was a quiznos one day and never heard back, and then I have my red hotckis STB and never heard back from the guy that wanted it.

Alos have a bunch of stock stuff laying around. Heater core, couple of the AC lines are left, the AC radiator, blower motor, Stock steering wheel with air bag, passenger air bag as soon as I can get it out of the car, stock speakers.

Also have a Halo LE XBOX with everything except the Samsung DVDR and a bunch of LED's that I need to unload. Was going to make it a back up box a while ago with all the cool lights and stuff but kind of lost interest in building it. Hard part is moving the damn thing. The LE XBOX even bare (no internals) draw a premium if you can even find them.

Might be willing to unload a couple of my premium cigars too.

Tonight I will go through all my crap and get a FS list going.
