Get it for the core. Then throw it on a stand and get it ready for a rebuild. :D

At least that's my plan for a block. Hardest part will be sourcing a nitrided crank.

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

idler arm decided to crap out on me on way home from track, luckily it was only a mile away and not much traffic. I got the new one in but now needs a alignment, plus gonna check some leaks under there. Not planning on driving her much more for the year anyways

Re: Project: Typhoon 0437

well little update, kept having to replace the upper rad hose from alternator fan hitting it, so i made my own torque strap and it works great and only cost 8bucks :) also blacked the chrome part out on the tailights and still working on removing the rear glass tint..

Heres the only run i got on video from me at the track.. 14.6 pass and i have no idea why he made us stop at the light, i staged up and he gave me the left off signal so i back down.. then 2 seconds later he gets the lights on after i wasnt even staged so thats why horrible reaction from trying to build boost..
