work on it alittle bit. filed the rings over the weekend and put the short block together today




maybe ill have the long block together by the end of the week

 

Any updates? This thing is sick.

 

Great build and updates. I hadnt seen this post until tonight but you have not helped with my insomnia LOL Ive been readin for hours now. Keep up the good work and posts...

 

Hasn't been an update on this in a while. I bought a house and have been really busy with that. Started the truck forthe first time on the new motor yessterday. All have have to do it bolt in my converter, put in my front prop shaft, and finish up my c5 front brakes(will do the rears later, I just want to drive this thing). Need to put 500miles on it and strap it to the dyno

 

Do you plan to keep the truck intake? I bet a Victor Jr would make more torque/horsepower and have better distribution so #7 doesn't fry again.
I would love to do this to a mid-90s 4-door Blazer 4X4.
Killer project!!

 

if i ever change the intake it would be to get a pro-flo xt

 

any updates.....?

 

ya. i pulled the tranny/t-case on friday to put in a new flex plate. should be here on wednesday. i am also doing coilovers in the front so i have to order those. probably another 2 weeks before its driving again.

 

well.. any more updates?

 

I have been driving it. Got about 500 miles on the new motor. just waiting for some money so i can get the tune finished. I got the coilover on in the front. Here is a picture that i took today. Ill try and get some videos up soon

 

OH, that looks sexy

 

Wow. The truck looks sick man. I love those Syclones.

 

Looks bad ***!! Nice work, will this be a daily driver or weekend toy?

 

Truck is beautiful...gonna have to get one of those someday. Need to do the front bumper cover tuck mod and lose the gap

 

Why not do another Ty? If i were to do it all again I would have do it to a Ty to begin with. Getting one later wasnt so bad though

 

I have always liked the Syclone since I was little, better than the Typhoon...I just kinda ended up with a Ty at some point..by chance. I would like to do a max effort Sy build someday...who knows...

Here was my Ty back in the day....I put a TPI motor in it...blaaahhhhhhh

 

Any updates? I have a syclone that has 34k original and am not sure if I want to hack it up. Love this build thread though. BADASS.

 

sweet build would love an update!

 

I have one with 18k and I don't think I could hack it up to be honest, but I occasionally see a few Syclones and Typhoons with no engine, which I wouldn't feel guilty cutting up since it'll never be numbers matching. Think I might just hop up the v6 a little and maybe later on find one with a bunch of miles or no engine to put a v8 and maybe some kinda maggie on it.

 

Here are a few vids I took of eviltwins Sy yesterday after we were done doin some work on the typhoon. Nothin too crazy, but atleast you will get a taste...
