Brandon, I'm almost done with the hoist, I could probably drop it off next week or so.

A few updates, I got the motor and tranny all out of the black gsx parts car, and swapped the good tranny into my talon. Now that I've used all the parts I want off the gsx, it's time to put it back together.

Last night Mark and I took apart the bad motor from the gsx, it was pretty interesting, first time seeing a motor apart like that. The one rod that broke through the block was U shaped, it froze the crank and we couldn't get either out of the block (I'll snap a pic tonight). Fortunately the trasmission wasn't hurt in the whole ordeal. We also got the head off my original motor from the talon that I thought blew a headgasket.

However, we couldn't see anywhere that it looked bad, so now I have no idea why the car overheated in less than 5 minutes. It was blowing out a lot of smoke from the tailpipe with any boost at all, would it be possible to not see where it was blown on the gasket? Compression wasn't bad either on the motor.

Anyway, tonight we'll probably get the good block and good head all put together and get the belts all set. Haven't decided about hooking up AC yet, does anyone know what type of freon the 95 uses? Can I buy a cheap recharge bottle just to get it working for the sale?
