the blow up doll in the backseat should help you get there in half the time.

Heyyyyyy, its the big block Tazmanian devil Ty.

Guess it was too far gone to go back to the V-6, eh?

Looks like you are makin progress, thats better than goin backwards!

Good luck wrapping it all up!

LOL......shes a garage icon, shes sits in all the vehicles when they're being worked on. Shes ridden on a few of our bikes out to bike night and such. Shes a cool girl!

Yeah....the old big block ty was tooo far gone to put back to v6 land very easily. I just collected enough stuff to at least try to make it a decent, fun, nice driver. I had to replace the entire dash harness, find and replace ALL of the HVAC related pieces.......blah..... a lot of work basically and Im still a ways from home.

Re: Progress on V8 Typhoon

There was a guy that got busted up here for using a maniquine (sp?) for driving in the carpool lane. He got 4 hours of community service. He has to hold a sign that says "The HOV lane is not of dummies" :rotf:

Progress looks good :tup:

Re: Progress on V8 Typhoon

Are you planning to put a turbo or two on it? Looks N/A with those manifolds. Keeping it AWD? Either way nice.

 

[MeanYellowz]

Re: Progress on V8 Typhoon

no and yes. =) I am currently building a single turbo C4 corvette, and the Ty is supposed to be a decent daily driver, so no turbos for it. Maybe if it stays mine, down the road it could happen. As for the AWD, of course!

Re: Progress on V8 Typhoon

awesome build. I wish you would have shot me an e-mail as i took all that stuff out of the gt and i could and would have given you all the under dash stuff for free (less shipping)

Keep up the good work and i can't wait to see it when it's done.
