Hi my name is TODD I am from Connecticut. I am an Avid Rock crawler (off-road) .
I have a very well built crawler that currently runs a stock jeep 4.2l I6 with fuel injection.
The engine is very hurt, and I have been limping through the season. Looking to do a engine swap and trying to be a little different than the rest, with the typical sbc or ls powered rig.
I stumbled apon a crashed s-10, that had a syclone engine transplanted into it..and swooped it as fast as I could. I took the 4.3l, 700r4. And entire harness from donor truck. It even had syclone dash with 46000 miles on clock, engine internals seem to concur with that too.The appears the previous owner put new tailhousing on tranny and got rid of t-case
My plans are to put that into my rig. I have already purchased vortec heads, made intake mods to cover larger ports. ( I built it up with aluminum tig weld then machined) And drilled and tapped old hold down pattern into vortecs My plan is for a reliable ( not huge hp). With good throttle response turbo engine running the stock inter cooler with an upgraded turbo. If I could see 350hp or maybe a little more I would be very happy. If what've read is correct, stock the sy/ty should have been about 320 hp. With a nice turbo, vortec heads and. Some proper sized injectors I hope to hit 350hp +.
Any advice to meet these goals would be greatly appreciated. I am so outside my comfort zone here. Lol
I know some of you may frown apon my use of the venerable 4.3l syty in such a lowly application. I think it will make a truly unique off-road rig. I promise to uphold the syty heritage.
If anyone would have a recommended turbo for this application?
I would appreciate input
I'm looking to stay in the same kind of power curve as a stock syty Would a cam change be in order
. Also any help on selecting injectors with the new vortec heads.
In the northeast, are there any engine builders that are known for working with this platform?
I have been reading and absorbing info from the web. But appreciate the wealth of knowledge I am sure this forum holds.
Thank you, and I look forward to chatting it up
