Typhoon intake manifold plate, anybody know anything about these???

[LazerBlueTy]

Since this was a mod, I thought here was the place to post this. If it's not, please move it to the right section. Thanks in advanced!

Years ago when I had my Ty, I had spotted something that I thought was really cool for our trucks. It was something I was surprised wasn't done from the factory, despite having the same power plant for both the Sy and the Ty. But anyway, what I am referencing to is a custom made nameplate for the top of the intake manifold, one that says "TYPHOON 4.3L TURBO" instead of the traditional "SYCLONE 4.3L TURBO". I remember reading from somewhere that it was custom made using high pressure water engraving to make it, and was just thinking enough to lay on top of the intake manifold without causing clearance issues.

I have attached a few pics of them to show how awesome these look. If anybody knows where these can be made and had, please share the info. I would LOVE to get one for my next truck... enjoy!!!

I tried doing the search, but it came up with the following message:
"Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 72 bytes) in /home/sytynet/public_html/forums/includes/class_core.php on line 3292"... I also tried looking g through out the whole boards and didn't see anything about it so I made the new post about it.

As much as I am interested in it, I can't afford it right now. I will send you a PM though, as I am curious to know how much you want for it. I got way too much on my plate to try and snag it right now (gotta pay of my Impala, I owe Uncle Sam $700 for last year's taxes, trying to get re-established financially after refinancing the Impala and my credit card, etc., etc...). But let's see what's what, and maybe we can work something out.

I had originally planned on getting a plate, until I found out that a member here ( djsy934)did the same thing only on the plenum itself. So I decided to go that route because IMO it looks more like its been done from factory. It looks awesome.

Yes, the one I am referring to is the one on top of the upper intake manifold, as shown in the pics in my first post... I would like to be able to get one made form my next truck, but have yet to find out who can actually make them and how much...

When I initially considered going after a Ty years ago, I too thought that the Typhoon would have the Typhoon logo on top of the plenum intake, and the Syclone would have its logo on there. But was kinda surprised when I saw otherwise. Kinda understandable as to why due to production, cost of casting changes, and since it was the same engine in both. But I think the Typhoon should have the matching plenum intake logos. Hence, why I want to get a plate made for my next one.
