              So the project may be back on. just with a different car. I think i found another EGT that needs some TLC. The current car is gonna get parted out.

                picked up another car yesterday its a 93.used to be turbo and made 340whp before rod number 4 decided exit the block. Picked up near ft Lauderdale. Paid 200 for it and it came with a replacement Bp05 from a KIA (dissembled and missing all manifolds and such. so I'm gonna pick up a junk yard engine and throw it in for now. maybe turbo it and build the KIA block as a replacement.
