so what color was it?

so i stop and it turns out this guys got a typhoon a syclone and 3 motors that came out of syty's he just sold one motor for $8000
well that motor definately wasnt stock, either that or the guy who bought it just got raped out of $6000

Quote:
one of his friends owns tha fastest all wheel drive syclone in tha world and this guys puttin one of his motors in a 98 4dr blazer.....
the fastest AWD Syclone in the world is over in Europe. Matt Hoover has a Syclone that runs a tenth of a second slower and I believe may run down in that area, but thats all I can think of.

Hoover is actually a member here already, and odds are the other guy is on syty.net if he has all this stuff.

Not to be a smartass, but why were you going to look at a mustang to begin with? Mustang and Camaro=every rednecks life ambition to own/ that and a single wide.

Re: i saw a typhoon tonight

longblocks maybe, its just an LB4.
But you wont find a sy/ty crate engine anywhere.

hell the stock intake & exhaust manifolds go for an arm and a leg on the rare occation you find one on ebay.

GM doesnt sell shit for these trucks anymore, you'll be lucky if your dealership knows what one is, and like stated above, there really isnt anything special about the engine, youre better off getting an LB4 block out of the junkyard and building one yourself, but then youre gonna need the manifolds, turbo, fuel system, computer and if you actually plan on making some power, set aside $2500 for a trans and converter. So as long as youre willing to invest $10,000 - $12,000 into your Blazer, go for it!

Re: i saw a typhoon tonight

yeah unless you have an actual syclone or typhoon, there is no sense in trying to replicate their motors. For about the same price you can have a well built V8

Re: i saw a typhoon tonight

If your really wanting to buy a motor visit www.tobefast.com I think the cheapest one is around 8500 w/ core. I've always wanted to own a typhoon, My brother has a syclone and every now and then i have the privilege to drive it, they're amazing vehicles

Re: i saw a typhoon tonight

just build one yourself, I wouldnt waste my time with McCoys crap. $8500 is rediculous IMO even with a $2000 billet crank.

Lessee... Yup, it was THIS narrowminded comment to register and reply to this thread.

You must have gotten beat by a few 'stangs and 'arrows to spawn such a hateful comment. Nevermind what my 1,200hp T-56 2,000 lb Monza would do to you. What good is 4WD/AWD if the front wheels are in the air?

I've seen in person 2 Typhoon's up here in Canada, they've been well maintained, all original stickers and numbers matching. I also saw a syclone for sale in the paper a while ago,mint condidtion with just a custom paint job, the person was asking $23,000(canadian) approx. $20,400 US.

The only Ty I have ever seen, the guy bought it off of Joe Dumars of the Detroit Pistons. He kept the old registration. He was selling it for $35,000. NO not $3500. The body was decent with a few dings, and he said the engine was "kitted out"..

Re: i saw a typhoon tonight

wow i didn't really realize how rare these typhoons are. i know two people with them. one guy has his hand in just about everything from TV stations and dealerships to racing teams. the other kid was a jerk from my high school.
they are cool trucks. speaking of which do any of you know if there is a supercharger kit for the 4.3s like on the typhoon?

typhoon is based off of the blazer body, syclone is based off of the s-10/sonoma body

cyclones were made by Mercury in the late 1960's

syclones were made by GMC in the early 1990's

thats the difference.

and no, nobody really offers a true 100% complete bolt on/program computer kit.
