Syclone down for the year and some stuff for sale

[RGL]

Well the Syclone is down for the year, after a compression test Cylinder #3 is reading about 80lbs less than the rest. I don't know if I lost a piston or it's a head problem or what but at this time I have no time to find out what the problem is.

I'am going to be pulling the engine out and send it to Campbell this fall to get them to go through it.
At the same time I'am switching the truck over to Bigstuff 3 and a 4l80e,
so I'm going to have a built 700r4 tranny, billet torque convertor and HD front propshaft, front and rear propshaft loops for sale.

If anybody is interested I should be pulling it apart in August, and if anything is wanted I can bring it the the Canadian Nationals.

The tranny (out of Dean Higson's Ty) and convertor have less than a year and maybe 700 miles on them, and work excellent.

Sad to hear Rick. On a different note give me a call when you get a chance. I talked to that builder and he figured he might have a house for you.

Hmmm that's bizar timming, I get my Sy back from RPM tommorow after a year + with my bs3 and 4l80e . Good luck with it all.

Sorry to hear Rick. I was hoping that your truck would make it to the Canadian Nationals.

Let me know what you are asking for the parts, I may as well start amassing parts.

sorry to hear, at least you get to build it up some more. I may be interested in the trans(depending on price), mine is starting to feel a little sloppy.

Re: Syclone down for the year and some stuff for sale

Re: Syclone down for the year and some stuff for sale

Sorry about the lack of replies, work has been stupid.
Finally got a idea of what I need for the parts.

Built 700r4 tranny - $2000.00
Billet 2800 stall Torque convertor - $500.00
HD Front Propshaft - $300.00

The Tranny and TC have maybe 300-400km of city/ highway driving and maybe at most 10 dragstrip passes. They both work perfectly.
I have been asked the specs for the tranny and I have no idea, Nolan says the build is similar to the Prime Gears 700R4

I'll be starting to pull the truck apart next week. I'll be at the Can Nats and can deliver there or if anything is needed sooner buyer pays all shipping costs.


Thanks
Rick Luka

Both hoops for $50.00 sound good?
Nolan had the propshaft built in Edmonton, ask him for info.

Hey Rick

That front loop still works with the 4L80E.

Not sure if you knew that.

Rick if you still need the front loop you can sell me the rear for 25 sound good
