I finally gave in and got rid of the Talon. I used it today as a trade in for a new used car for myself. I haven't signed for anything yet so I'm not sure what exactly I'll be getting, but hopefully it will be a 2001 Monte Carlo SS with 44000 miles. I'll let you know and get some pictures up. ...

Even though the Talon is up for sale at the moment I am taking the time to still try and fix all that is wrong with it, just in case I have to use it. In case you haven't been following this project my 6-bolt AWD dsm needed a massive transplant, the transmission was shot, the oil seal on the center diff was leaking, the torque converter was siezed and the engine was 'bout ready to pop.

I took it out for a drive and it drives beautifully. It hits fuel cut or misfires or something if you floor it and one of the drive shaft bushings needs replacing, but otherwise this is the best it has ever run.... Read More
A couple of days ago I was trying to get the jammed CV shaft out of the transmission. While I was tugging on it I actually managed to pop the inner CV joint apart, so I just cut the boot and pulled out the obstruction. Today I went to O'reilly Auto Parts and bought a replacement CV shaft, rented the engine hoist again and gave removing the old block and tranny another go. This time I removed the front subframe member to give myself a little more room to move the engine around, droppe... Read More
