Re: ProtoTy Project
Just think. You can take the whole xtreme body and plop it on the prototy frame.
Should bolt right up. :tup:

Re: ProtoTy Project
Got the bug this weekend. Put the motor in for safe keeping. That and there is no room in the garage
Down pipe fits no modifications needed.
Top view for good measure
Unfortunately I'll have to take the motor out one more time. I have to get a heat shield for the pass side motor mount and I forgot to put in the pre-load plates on the motor mounts when I bolted them to the engine.

Re: ProtoTy Project
What a cool project. Can't wait to see the end result.
Just a suggestion - I don't want to sound like one of "those guys"- but when I see an intake or intercooler tubes open like that without masking tape on it for periods of time, I cringe.
I ate a turbo rebuild thanks to what I think was a piece of a ziptie once.

Re: ProtoTy Project
Well I have removed everything that actually belonged to the Typhoon. In my findings I have found that this truck was a 1991 Chevy Blazer, not a 1993 Typhoon. The research found that the Typhoon that was under the VIN before this was totaled out in 1993 in Sewall NJ. I can only imagine that the shop that got it got themselves an old Blazer and put the Ty parts in. The work done to that truck was horrible, that is why I decided to gut it and start over again with this project.
In saying that Typhoon 0994 has been retired from the SYTY registry. Here is hoping that it gets reincarnated into something great, not a toaster.
Look closely at the video, we thought that the frame was going to fall out of the truck when he picked it up. Ya it was that rusted out and not worth it!!

Re: ProtoTy Project
Finally made a milestone!!! I spent all day yesterday in the wind setting up the rearend, and finally got it all installed
Along with finally getting the rearend done I also have the ride height set for the rear. Also got the fuel pump transferred into the tank from the blazer and the tank and impact guard installed. The wife is very happy that the gas tank is finally out of the back yard
