WOW that's cheap for a nicely built custom cylinder.

I just ordered a custom pnuematic cylinder from SMC that was $1879.00....and they shipped it 1 week late (5 week lead time) and they built it to the wrong stroke...they are expediting a new one to us...2 weeks this time.

Not sure if that makes you feel better or not....

well joe and i flipped the intake, all new gaskets for the motor.joe pulled about 100 wires out of my harness and simplified the whole thing.making a switch panel,have my fuel pump mounted,tank is all tapped ready for the lines,made a egr block off plate.did some other little tricks to make the motor look simple. some fuel lines and few more little things and it will be running. looks so much better with the intake flipped and the harness all layed out nice and all the bullshit wireing cut out. joe is the man when it comes to this stuff. 2 nights working on it until 4 am.. still a bunch to do but i think i can see the light at the end of the tunnel.it should be about ready for memorial weekend.
we will post a picture of all the wires joe took out of my harness, that i already had modified.:sonicjay: cant believe all the left over wires and dead ends these places leave.

thanks. the next 2 weeks will be interesting since joe dont get home until 7 and i will be later then that.
have to wait a couple more days for a few parts again.he talked me into the bling gas line and fittings and a better switch panel setup. figured i need my switches closer so if i am upside down with my harness on i can shut it off.:teehee: so we are kinda on hold again for a couple days.

thanks paul.the parts keep coming in every other day.
