Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Hey Frank, my Builder did mention the Block could distort with the Fill that's why I don't wana fill it after I get the Cylinders bored. Being that the 4 Bolt mains have been completed is it too late to Fill now? It was a last minute decision, and my Builder didn't mention any issues knowing the Main caps were done already when I called couple days ago.

Well that sucks.

Filling afterwards will be fine, I've been told by several reputable builders here the same thing. I'm actually about to take a .040 block with straight 4 bolt mains to get filled halfway. He advised just rechecking the line bore. Otherwise he suggested to fill it. It strengthens the bottom end

Got these LiL Brodie -8 Heads and Lower Intake Ported by Air Flow Research from my Buddy and Mentor Rob Putman! We worked out a sweet deal and couldn't be happier. Can't wait to see these bad boys on the new motor :turbo:

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Test fit the Drivers head and clears all the spark plugs. Will need to get the Pass side modded a bit for #2, #4 plugs.

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

I wonder if the angle plug heads would have fit those headers better? It looks like the front plug on the crossover plug will be a pain. Got any better pictures?

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Hey Aaron, #1 plug has plenty of clearance. I'll post pics of the Pass side tonight of the issues with #2,#4. Shouldn't be too big of a deal for Sound Performance to mod it.

The Angled plug -10 heads would have been worse on the Pass side.

#1 on mine has good clearance for the plug and boot, but no room for tools or hands. I have to use a box wrench to take #1 plug in&out. And the only way to reach it is from underneath. :2cents:

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Pictures are always deceiving. I'd love to see the other side. Looks good!

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

#2 plug, might need a slight "cup notch" or dent


#4 plug, will need the Primary tube to be repositioned for sure

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Just bash those headers until they fit!!!




Just kidding

It actually looks like angles would still work good on those headers. I wish I had a set to test. Are they the RPM ones?

 

[Sean Krupa]

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

No these are made by Keith Mease. The angle plug heads would actually angle the #4 plug at the primary tube.

I actually watched that video. I would dent. But don't wana make the tube any smaller. I'll get it modified soon.

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Just kidding. That is just for us hacks. Your truck is too nice.

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Typhoon 2.0 is makin some progress. About ready to pull the engine out. Pulled the PLX wideband out to sell. Can't wait to clean up all this wiring that I don't need :lol:.

Recieved the JSM 80e Crossmember, excellent piece and Powder coated. :tup:

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Making nice progress. Would it be easier / more balanced to leave the lower on to hook up the chains to the hoist?

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Recieved my Holley Dominator kit from Scott Klepinger. Great guy and friend and can't wait until we can Tune this beast!

 

[Sean Krupa]

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Got a sweet gift (Holley 3.5" Screen) from a friend which will be perfect to Monitor and Adjust the Tune if need be. Recieved the 80E D&R Propshaft. The Block Fill is Complete and Nitrated Crank. Next is figuring the Bore Size. Decided to Delete the Heater box all together and install a Plate to make the Firewall flush looking. Will be Installin the Catch can there. John made me a amazing 80E Adapter for the Tcase.

Will have more Pics soon of the Frame Clean up.

Re: Typhoon #1215 Mods

Was a exciting moment for my Dad (Rick) and I to pull the Engine out for the first time in 23 years. This Ty was his Daily since new and now I'm takin it to the next level. 107,500 miles on the Stocker which still ran strong :tup:
