My morning started off pretty bad. I left for school about 10 minutes later than usual. Not a big deal, I'm sure I made that time back easily when I crossed the mountain. When I got to the bottom my GMC sonoma decided that the engine was turning too easily so the alternator locked up and went down in a blaze of fire....and glory. By the time dad got to me with another truck I was then about an hour late for a 2 hour class.

After school we decided to check back into a junkyard in that area to see if anything new came in. I found 2 Volvo, 2 Saab 5000, 2 chrysler conquest intercoolers, and one from a supra. The guy called them transmission coolers so needless to say I got out of there with a load of stuff for very cheap. I also found a 4cyl 5spd(gold around here).

And if anybody here can think of what I'm planning.....I also cut a deal for 4 351W bottom ends and 5 sets of 351M/400 cylinder heads. Not to mention I finally located my DOHC 2.3 Turbo Cylinder head.....I'm coming for you Mike.

I bought these coolers to clean and sell. If anybody wants them Let me know very quick and we'll make a deal. These will be gone by saturday night so be quick.

I've heard that about the block, but didn't know for sure I had to have the 69 and 70 just for the heads. I'll probably sell the bottom end too.

Easy......
My original focus was on the coolers. We just got a little sidetracked.

Why don't you go back and snag the hobb's switch for me out of that Volvo the IC came from. It should have a vac/boost line running to it...it's a "pressure switch".

I don't know where it's located...I'll try to figure it out asap.

Anything else good? Yeah, I need a few of these: http://td.rcwebdev.com/attachment.php?s=&postid=308112

They are cold start injectors found on Volvo's, Saab's, VW's, etc. They are small off/on type injectors. I need to add a few to a project of mine to fix the lean problem
