With the engine rebuild and the powder coating, it's only going to cost me $1300. I might just cough up the extra dough and get the Cometic head gaskets too.

Cough, and forged pistons cough

I'm going to sell some of my parts off of the Eclipse so I can get some cash for the rebuild. I'm going to try and get Eagle H beam rods too.

Those rods should hold up fine to 500hp. Spend the $270 on the forged pistons and go with the compacted graphite head gaskets. Mustang guys are running into the 9's on them and they're like $15 each

What time do you want to meet up tomorrow? I can do afternoon to 6pm.

6pm still works for me.

Keep in mind my wife goes to work at 6:30, so 6 is kinda pushing it.

I get off work at noon today, have a meeting with the sheet metal dude about the porsche, then pickup my lady at 3:30 most likely i'll make it there well before 6. If not i'll just cruise by your house and pick the stuff up, so no big deal.

Were you able to look at the tb yet Guy?

Yep, this week has been kinda stressed with my workload and the holidays, i got all the sensors and doors off but it looks like its tac welded together. But its all shiny now.
