need some good advice

Hi,
i just recently had engine trouble with my 94 eagle talon, feared the worst and thought of the piston ring(s) incapable of working after a compression test of Cylinders #1(180) #2(180) #3(0) #4(180) pulling off around a max of turning it over 5 times cold. i decided to tear the engine out of the bay, with so much spare time on my hands at the moment. after all said and done getting it out, started to take the intake/head/ off and i seen that one of my exhaust valves had been busted off in a shape of a fingernail, or a crescent.

After much thought and having a pretty solid frame and suspension, i would go for the turbo conversion.

I am curious about which carriers are good to deal with on buying short blocks and other goods such as rebuilt heads and their used items, or having them do the work then shipping it, i have seen the dsm graveyard site and i was considering about purchasing a few items from them with the work done.
Would you recommend them? I would like to see a few good answers on here where the experience with these motors and cars are high, before i make my final decision,
thanks

dsm graveyard is a great site
exactly what parts are you looking for?
different sites vary for different parts

I am considering going with the 6- bolt rebuild kit from them to replace my 7 bolt, aswell as the flywheel.
I took a brief look at their heads for sell, and seeing a reman or turbo head without the cams and switch mine over if the lift would be in the range.

I have checked out a few good sites and found some prices through the roof and found some deals and steals. such as a turbo exhaust header for 220 but the same thing on ebay for 100? just doesnt seem right, and yes i have looked at all the details they wrote about the item on both pages, they are identical

Sum it up, basically turning my N/T 94 talon into a Turbo talon, and want to find a good trustworthy and quality source to purchase the items i need to start and complete this project.

i believe i'm about to place an order but my quest still relys on finding a used ecu for fwd turbo talons 1g, is there anymore well known dsm seller sites that may have this and also, kind of a dumb question but i dont want to run a/c after this is all said and done, is it possible to just delete that belt, believe its the one where it goes around the crank/tensioner then to the a/c.
