Making some progress- FOR SALE Reply #241 – December 04, 2008, 03:33:51 PM Got the piston out last night. The rings are locked into the lands. No sealing at all. The piston edge and skirt are all tore up, possibly even a few hairline cracks. This block was gone through about two years ago. If I build another block, it sure won't be this one. Quote Selected

Looks like a Hellion from the frt?I also agree on the tow vechicleHad a Anderson PMS(now for sale), but now has a custom SCT tune. They were using a standalone A/F sensor. It is a stick car for now. Turbo is a 76mm and it is a Hellion kit.Tow vehicle ends up being whatever is cheap at the time of purchase!Jim Quote Selected
Making some progress- FOR SALE Reply #244 – December 04, 2008, 11:27:34 PM Jim, I think you will be much happier with the SCT chip over the PMS.I'm a SCT dealer and have seen 50-75 RWHP gain by changing fromPMS to a SCT custom tune. It was on a SN95 347 S trim T5 car. Car is looking GREAT. Let me know if you have any questions on the tuning. I have done sevral Hellion cars. A budyy of mine is "Quicktime Turbo" the 1 that is being bashed on "Corral" for not delivering. But anyway I tuned alot of his cars. Later Greg Just giving you a hard time on the tow vechicle.

Making some progress- FOR SALE Reply #245 – December 04, 2008, 11:35:17 PM Thanks. I am sure I will have a few questions once it gets back on the road. Do you have any short or long blocks laying around the shop for sale??? Quote Selected
Making some progress- FOR SALE Reply #246 – December 10, 2008, 08:13:02 PM Ok, had the block checked out today. I can replace a piston, rings and have the cylinder honed. I guess that I have to do it, instead of buying another block. I will still be into it for a few hundred dollars for all the parts and gaskets. I hate putting money into the stock block. Right now I would hate to put out money for a built shortblock. I am afraid that I will go through with the repairs and just bust up the bottom end. Quote Selected

Making some progress- FOR SALE Reply #248 – January 29, 2009, 07:05:02 PM I'm still around. Another month gone by and it just sits. I think that I have decided to wait and get an aftermarket 4-bolt block. I need to find the right one. Anyone interested in my short/longblock let me know. 306(1 new piston!), arp rod bolts, forged pistons, crane cam. Longblock includes Edelbrock aluminum heads. If I find what I want, I will post mine for sale in the right section. Quote Selected

Making some progress- FOR SALE Reply #254 – February 02, 2009, 05:26:32 PM I had considered parting it all out, but the chassis would have to sell first. I change my mind 100x a day. Quote Selected
