What to get?

Hello!! I broke my Phoon's block in half. So now it's rebuild time.

I'm thinking about some upgrades. Where can I get billet pistons,vortex heads,and a 3/4 race cam?

I probably should get a throttle body airfoil and a cold air intake too,I think??

Should I get a shift kit,since the motor will be out anyways?

Lot's of stuff to think about,but the service manager at the local GMC dealer that is doing the work assured me that they can handle it,so it should be good as new or better soon!! :tup:

Anything I'm missing?

Re: What to get?

Your having the work done at a GMC dealer? I don't know if I would go that route. I wouldn't put a shift kit in. What type of cold air intake, you mean an L shaped tube with a K&N?

You CAN put Vortec heads on a Typhoon, BUT they don't just bolt right up. I think the intake has to be machined, plus other changes.

Do a search on vortec swap and start reading...

YOur missing very valuable information . That shift you you desire will actually be a step backwards for your tranny . Specific syty parts will get tossed during the kit install and youll being doing the opposite of helping your transmission .

Please search around before you move forward with this plan . pretty please .
