I think that once you do heat it enough to allow the insertion of the bolts, this does not automatically align the ports. The size of the exaust manifold ports are not large enough over the size of the head ports to compensate. You guys that have engines pulled down right now, that have not...

Ok. So you drill or spread the exhaust manifold to get it mounted. With the bolt holes being oversized does this not offer the effect of the center point of the ports shifting from location to location on the exhaust port on the head itself? This I think would cause a miss-match wouldn't it? I...

Are the exaust manifold bolt holes on you guys trucks larger on both ends and a smaller, tighter fit in the middle holes? Mine are. My truck has been down since October. My son is installing my engine for me since I am disabled to do so. The manfolds will not fit now. Will they shrink enough...

Great Gobs of Granulated Gopher Guts. You must be talking about "Whuping your Puppy". or maybe "Beating your Meat". But "Spooling", how did that ever get connected? :D :D :D

No. My motor is in rebuild at J&G Racing right now.

The auction closed at $5,600 . Wonder who got it?

When I spoke with him he said it had a clear original title. He said he was preparing it to run NHRA , not that he indeed had run in stock eliminator class yet. He has run on dragways with it before he started the complete rebuild. Again, anyone interested should do like I did, call him. His...

These guys in Australia know how to build a car. Wonder if they could build us a Syclone II or Typhoon II ? Look what they are going to do. http://discussions.gmforums.com/showthread.php?s=07bf771f5d8c5df71c78a9ec15cb43c8&threadid=26768 :D :D :D

ilikesyclones, I found mine on http://autotrader.com/ at a reasonable price. You may have already been useing it, if not try it. :D

Well the way I see it, how much are you willing to spend to get it street worthy after you haul it all the way to Virginia? The biggest problem is to get it running decent, with the mods he has done. This might get expensive. He says he has the stock cam that you could replace for the one he...

I called him at the phone number he had listed on ebay. He seemed willing to talk in depth about the truck. He said something about a divorce and he had to get rid of the truck fast. He said he could not leave Louisiana until his divorce was over. He was somewhat knowledgeable about Syclones. I...

Well he sent the pictures. If anyone wants them let me know. I will email them to you. Here is a link also. http://web.infoave.net/~tjohnson3/REDSYCLONE.JPG :D :D :D

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1869507973 Be advised guys this engine is not an original ST / TY engine. He says the crank is. The turbo is. The original tranny,as he purchased it, is a GM replacement, before the modifications were done. The paint job was...

Back in the late 80's and early 90's Richard Childress Racing (Dale Earnhardt) used this concept before GM introduced it on their automobile lineups. It allowed them to run higher compression ratios and timing setups than other teams were capable of doing. It was kept fairly quiet inside RCR for...

No I don't . I just thought there would be some cooling increases in the head area like the LT1 engine enjoys that may help when boost levels run higher. The way I understand the LT1 engines can run higher compression ratios because the water flows through the heads first. Which offers cooler...

Ok Guys, don't throw stones at me. I have been so out of touch with engines and modifications for so many years I really don't know the answer. Can reverse flow water pump technology be applied to our 4.3 engines? If so, where can it be found, at what price and to what benefit? If anyone runs...

:oops: Mine did the same thing about 3 months ago. Liked to scared me to death. I like to have had a wreck pulling over to the side of the road to check it out. Took me about an hour to notice the needle had jumped out of place. Took another hour to remove the dash and correct the needle. :D

What was the yellow car. With sweet roofline. Looked like a late model maybe 2000,2001 or 2002? It was quick also.

This sounds like a great way to get to see the two of you together. John has to be in the shop a lot. I'm curious, did you guys manage to get the SY/ TY in the movie or you don't know? :D :roll:
