Spoke with Rex today and he's got my pistons on order, they should be to his shop by Monday. I could potentially have my engine back by the end of next week, but I'm not going to count on having it that early. I also asked him about exhaust coatings, and I think I may pass on that for now. I would like to have it done for the cosmetic reasons but I think if I do that I will have both the hot and cold side done together. Since I don't have the cold side pieced together yet I might as well wait. I was also under the impression that the coating would give some kind of performance increase, but I guess that's minimal at best.

I'm excited to see things start to come together. I'm really going to take my time this time around and make sure that I don't cut any corners when doing the reassembly. I want to clean everything up really well as I put it back in (seeing your truck made me jealous Bill ).

I'll let you know if I need a hand with anything....otherwise, we'll definitely have to meet up once this thing is running again!

 

Right on bro... I got a gas pressure washer and a welder that plugs into a 4 prong dryer outlet... I can help with an extra set of hands when you start tacking the cold charge ducting together...

Stay in touch

Bill
