Sorry to hear about your truck....I decided against using my comp918s and went with the patriot duals for a little extra insurance...how big are you going for the new motor?

I think I heard somewhere around 682ci. Might not be able to get it to fit in the engine compartment though so it might be going in the bed which would add some extra weight to the rear wheels as well....

I bet yours looks worse than mine did. My valve decided to become part of the piston, rather than smashing all the way though it. I was able to clean up the cylinder and put a new piston and head to get it running again. Post your pics when you get the head off.

Not in a real big hurry to take it off anyways. I know its trashed so while its down we're prolly just goin to start fabbing the turbo kit.
