Got my block and crankshaft measured up, everything is in spec, expect for my #8 cylinder. They are going to be picked up tomorrow and sent off to the machine shop. I also finally convinced my auto teacher to let me do my engine swap in class so I won't have to pay someone else to do it!
How far they gonna punch it out? (.030 is pretty standard overbore, and makes finding pistons MUCH easier/cheaper.)

Yes! $1,500-1,700 for the swap so I'm happy I can do it myself, and the experience is a nice bonus...as far as boring the engine I believe .030 is what they'll do but they never said what they'll do to it yet, I'll find out soon tho. Ill keep updates on her still.

I just ordered silverstar ultras for my truck.
$84 shipped for 2 low beams (9007) 2 high beams (9004) and 2 fog lights (H11)
all silverstar ultras
would have cost me $150 at the auto parts store for the same bulbs as the parts store sells them for $50 a 2 pack where this particular seller on ebay sells for $30 a 2 pack and $25 a 2-pack for the 9004 bulbs (the bulbs your trucks take)
the sports use the same bulbs as your single low/hi beams for just high beams and use 9007 for both low and high. (quad hi-beams)
here's a link to the seller with your 9004 bulbs for $25 shipped (2-pack)

And your morning cold temp is like 72, right? Something wrong with getting ping anyways, even if less than that.

Thanks Jig. I went for those for the cost. Arriving tomorrow already. I almost got 2 pair.
Stewie, thanks much for those PIAAs too. They are a good alternative and appreciate the input.
