What differences would there be with taking my TB and putting it onto this engine and using the ECU and turbo - easy Vortec drop in or is that too simple? Just curious...

Also, is the A/C compressor in this the same as in my Ty?

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!

Re: UK Jimmy

I am going to assume that was a stupid question. I searched and read that the 4.3 was different to the Syclone/Typhoon 4.3 so I guess just dropping that into the car with my ECU and changing the exhaust manifolds and fitting the turbo is not really a goer.

If anyone could give any pointers as to what I can scavenge from this truck i would really appreciate it. Spares are impossible over here so if there is stuff I can use then could someone please tell me?

You can see the guy is asking £1000 ($2000) fof that truck. Would that be worth that much in the US? How much should I be looking at?

Thanks,

Mark

Re: UK Jimmy

Sounds like a good deal to me. You can use sheet metal and doors. The block, accesories, and rear end are useable, too. Trans would make a good core if you swapped in a SyTy valve body.

If it actually runs, it'd make a good daily driver until needed.

that one isn't a true vortec, is it?
