Default FS: Ty-clone Typhoon/Blazer conversion

Typhoon/Blazer conversion
This was a project of mine that took a couple of years. The parts are from two separate crashed Typhoons. All genuine 1992 Typhoon parts (i.e. fenders, hood, tailgate, doors, ground effects kit, complete black leather interior, and grille).

All body work done professionally, new Audi aluminum Silver paint job. Interior was installed by body shop.

Engine: 355 small block V8 with forged pistons and 4 barrell Holley carburetor. 350 turbo tranny (only 400 miles on both!) Brand new Griffin aluminum radiator, new starter, new alternator, and new battery. Grand National rear-end.

Complete exhaust work done with dual Flowmaster mufflers, new Behr cross-drilled rotors, and new 17" Delgado rims on 245/45/17 BF Goodrich Comp T/A tires.

Interior: 1992 Typhoon Black leather (front seats with Typhoon logos on headrest, back seats, door panels, and headliner). New chrome Grant steering wheel and polished steel B&M sport/racing shifter.

Over $20,000 invested in the truck.
I can no longer afford to keep this truck so i must sell. My loss is your gain. Previous 3 buyers have backed out before even coming to see the truck. Very frustrating. $6300 firm.

good luck on it, but in my opinion, the V8 ruined it as far as the "typhoon" is concerned... it is now just a GMC jimmy with a V8 and typhoon interior

OK
well I put the V8 in there to replace the v6 in the Blazer. I don't know if YOU have ever tried to get a Typhoon motor, they are not that common. So I opted for the v8. It is a Blzer with all 92 Typhoon parts. That is why it is a TY-CLONE

Thanks guys.
I had a set of Ty rims but they were in poor condition so I sold them. I know a lot of people don't like these wheels, but I think I set the price low enough that you can just get a new set.
I know this is a Tampa forum so i am willing to split shipping costs if anyone is interested down there.
