Re: Syclone 934 Restoration
Yes I own a machine shop with my brother, K&J Precision. I am also a certified TIG welder.
The upper mount is 1 piece billet 6061 T-6 Aluminum with nitronic 60 SS inserts for the bolt. The frame pads are 1 piece billet 4130 steel.
Next up I am going to make billet aluminum valve covers, sometime next month.
In the meantime I am porting the exhaust manifolds, welding and porting the upper intake and getting all the pulley brackets cleaned and painted.
Get all this done then the motor will be ready to put in the frame and then its on to putting the 4L80E in.

Everything looks great. Keep up the good work. When you put the 4L80E in will you be machining your own shaft and adaptor plate?

Re: Syclone 934 Restoration
Yes I will make my own adapter (we are the manufacturer of the SOUT74 adapter). As a matter of fact, I have enough material I will be making an extra 3 adapters if someone needs one they will be available again soon.
No I am in the GP for the Mark Williams shaft, he is the expert for those parts.

Re: Syclone 934 Restoration
Been awhile since I've had time to work on her, but got the exhaust and upper plenum ported and the front pulley assembly finished. And I have begun machining the valve covers.
Pulley assembly
Bead blasted, ported and painted the manifolds with VHT, The plug wires are temp, need to get straight boots.
Welded the upper plenum and blended
CNC ported
Bored out for a 58mm T-Body
Finished hand blending the ports, machined all surfaces flat and painted with VHT wrinkle plus.
And here is the beginning of one of the valve covers

Here is a computer rendition of what were thinking. Painted wrinkle plus black with the GMC Motorsports and ribs being raised and machined aluminum.

I might be interested in a set, if you're interested in making another. I'm very curious to see how they turn out!
