Well I found some motivation Friday afternoon and brought my truck to the shop so i could figure out what I'm going to do. Its been sitting since the winter of 07' the truck is in nicer shape that i remember that's for sure.
After a quick wash before the water froze i got in the building and started taring it apart.
Figured out why the stock motor i bought from a board member took a shit too... I never made a safety for the oil pickup. when i dropped the pan it was sitting in the bottom hangout.
(Note to self = weld it, or safety wire). it ran great too what a shame it only had about 70k on it.
The new motor - Its been sitting around for about a year.
Diamond Racing pistons, Eagle rods, RPM nitrated crank that i had balanced by LAB machine shop.
Your average vortec's 2.02/1.6 ported by Sagona Race Engines
Should be about 9.5:1 compression... cant wait to buy a real turbo!
The cam came with my truck when i bought it... custom grind but its similar to a 412 cam
Everything else is basically stock.
I don't what i want to do with the truck yet (Would love to trade it for a Syclone in the same condition!!!)
Im still undecided if i want to part it out, fix it and drive it for the summer, or fix and sell right away.
i want to go LSX Turbo but i dont wan to do it to my typhoon... i have a regular s10 i will try to make that happen in if i can get the $$$$ together after i sell the TY.....
but hey only the first weekend we'll see how the week goes.
