Update!! i was busy for these couple of days so i couldnt do any work on the car ..
anyways..
i changed my mind again and installed back the th700r4 with transfer case..
the 4l60e seemed alot more complicated because i had to do allot of modding like the trans mounts driveshaft and also remember that this is a budget build
and the exaust system also has to be made while the transfer case is mounted
my brother and my cousin helped me alot which made the process alot faster ..
the end result is we have mounted the engine with the trans on the car and everything fits good its ready for the next steps to come
this seems to be a problem when designing the exaust system
and heres the pics of the mounting of the engine

I THINK Sanderson or hedman makes a set of shorty headers for 4WD LSx s10's and they're fairly cheap. A set of headers for a 1st gen 4WD Blazer/S10 LSx swap will work in a Sy/Ty I'm almost positive. May wanna do a little bit of research to ensure, but I'd bet money on it.

You've probably seen this truck, but this is mechanically very similar to what you are doing:

I'm putting an LS3/700R4/BW4472 typhoon t-case into a 1969 Jeep CJ6 this winter. Good luck with your build.

anyways i was looking for header ideas and i found this header thats custom made for ls1 s10's and seems like a good deal ... but did not mention if it was 4wd system compatible because my brother mentioned that there was a difference between headers for a 4wd system and a 2wd one but he was not specific so... do you guys have any idea about this?? is there really a difference in headers for a 2wd and a 4wd???
anyways heres the link to the headers

I did a SBC swap into a 4WD S10 years ago and the swap headers had two tubes that wraped around the outside of the frame rails. Not sure if anyone is doing the same design for LS swaps.

sorry for not updating much guys i have been very busy and im waiting for the headers from s10v8.com that are for ls1 s10 2wd swaps i plan of modifying it so i could fit the front driveshaft if not possible then i have to choices either scap the 4wd and leave it as a 2wd (so much for a typhoon) or i could just do a turbo setup which will probably take a hell alot of time ..well those are my choices if you guys have any other advice i would really be thankful .

Look at other guys swaps. There's at at least one Syclone I know of that is swapped and didn't go turbo so it can be done. Worst case scenario you buy a build your own header kit and build them to work in your Typhoon. I did some looking around and I couldn't find 4wd swap headers. I would've sworn I saw them somewhere but I guess not.

I think GMHTP had an article about a guy that did a NA LS2 in a Syclone, I just saw it a few days ago somewhere.

This isn't the one I was thinking of but I'm pretty sure it's NA

I'm helping a buddy with his swap and they make an adaptor for an 80e to keep the factory awd... his is a 6.0l and a single, very big, turbo.
How bout that pricey oil pan lol.
