Hi Mortehl,

Good to see you around. We're really going to work with you guys in coming out with solution for the series 1 and series 2 pems. The biggest issue I'm running into with Bonne PEMs is trying to locate cores. Aaron was good enough to educate me on the differences between the years which is going to help out a lot.

Hopefully we will get enough cores floating that we can get this off the ground and flowing smoothly. After that we're talking heads and other cool stuff for series 1 and 2. We have a CNC mill and lathe now, so the possibilitys are endless.

Hi Scooter and/or Travis,
I just picked up a set of Series I Bonne manifolds (headers were what the GTP guys called them yesterday at Alex Exhaust where I was having my 3" exhaust installed) and am having them sand-blasted before I send them to you boys for some good ol porting.
When I get them back I'll have a pair of extra mani'* that I'll no longer need -LMK if you are interested in them - I also have 1993 Bonneville parts car with good mani'* that will fit 1993-1995 Series I'*.
So, yeah, I've got two sets of Series I manifolds for Bonneville'*, Lesabres, Park Avenues (Ultra too), Trofeo, 98, 88, and 95 Riviera SC'ed if they're of any interest to you guys.

Yea, I talked with Scooter tonight and offered to work something out for the two extra sets of Exhaust manifolds I have as well as using my car to try them out on since I won't be driving it for the next month and a half.

We also blast them as part of the proccess, so if you haven't done that yet, there is no need.

I figured I'd have it done since my brother-in-law works in a machine shop and can blast them -I'll basically have you guys do the porting as my b-i-l '* shop also does powder-coating and he is going to have them coated for me when I get them back as I still don't know which color I want them coated (although I probably will end up with silver).
