    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    chrysler truck programming leaves ALOT to be desired, for sure in the hemi but not quite as much in the 4.7. It will be beneficial, although i don't know what is "worth it" to you. You will have a difference in drivability and power, but it is not "significant." We normally get $389 for the diablo (minimum advertised price) although if you call, i may be able to help you out a little more...

    A new coil is a lot cheaper than a full MSD set up that does nothing for you, and a lot more reliable.

    Thanks Wes for the info. Kinda funny because some one on another board told me that it was still usable and he knew people who drove on rims with cracks in them with no problems but your advise sounds more knowledgeable then his.

    Wire tucks are teh shit...Some of you may have seen this when I came up to Fargo end of may/early june this summer. [image: Thebay.jpg] Build thread http://www.eghatchback.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5656 The car is getting new 1/4s and roof skin this winter(hail damage) and then its getting all the other body work done and prepped for paint. The bay is getting stripped down again, shaved and the entire car is getting sprayed the color of the bay, Jeep Metallic Green. MY fuse box is behind my glove box, prop valve is on the firewall inside behind the radio and brake lines run straight over to the front wheel wells then thru the firewall from inside the car.

    Billys Custom Cover-up on main, same building as Daves Classics. He does lots of hotrod custom interiors. He made the full interior and installed the top on my 68 Galaxie convert and did my t-bucket as well. He did a great job, I would definately bring it there. http://www.customcoverup.com/index.html

    Thanks for the info. Even when I free rev it, it will sputter for a half sec and then rev just fine. I might mess w/ the timing belt. I just want to verify that the single cam will run just fine in certain RPM and throttle ranges when the timing belt is off. That's quite a bit different than a DOHC cam motor which is what I'm used to.

I dont want to do that swap even though it would be the best bang for my buck because of the wiring. The harness on the motor is insanely complicated and hardly any of it matches up w/ the current wiring in the car. Fabrication isn't the problem, wiring is. The 4g63 and the sr20 have very simple wiring set ups so i wil more then likely go with one of those. If only...damn I wish I had the cash. That way I could keep to my DSM ways in a sense and have a spare motor/tranny on hand. Haha.
