I wont paint it for awhile. I want to put a cowl hood on it, maybe, then paint it. I kinda want to mold the widebody parts to the actually body for a cleaner look.

I finally pulled the head off of the Typhoon and found I did the same thing to this that I did to my Eclipse, I broke a piston. Like the Eclipse, the missing piece is long gone and made no damage to anything. So I got a used piston with rings for $40 shipped. Now Im waitng for a vendor on the Typhoon boards to get me a price on all the gaskets I need. So those new pistons I bought are just going to be put on hold for awhile, until my motor blows up again. Which knowing my luck, isnt too far down the road. As long as its after the wife goes back to work, thats fine with me.

Guy, I got all the gaskets from them but the plenum gasket, which no one has, not even the dealership. Ended up cutting out my own, mad tight custom yo!!! It's not perfect, but will definitely work. Got my new/used piston in today, thing looks brand new actually. Now I'm just waiting for my head gasket to come in and I need new radiator hoses. If I don't get anything from summitracing about my head gasket tomorrow morning, I'll just pick one up from Ed's when I pick up my other gaskets tomorrow. I might actually get this thing running this weekend.

Fuck, I forgot I broke the EGR valve and I haven't ordered one yet. Hopefully Ed's has one or can get one quick.

Most parts are within the hour, if you call before 9 they can have it by 11:30, so on and so forth.

This truck is giving me a headache. I have to drop the front axle to get the oil pan off. I have one bolt that is just killing me right now. The nut is inside the frame and I can't hold the wrench and turn the ratchet at the same time.

The axle is not easy to pull out at all, I have to disassemble half of the front end to get it out. I should have the motor pulled out tomorrow and I'll be replacing both head gaskets. I might just have the block bored out for the new pistons since I have it out already.
