Looking into syclones and typhoons it got me thinking. As much as I would like to have a syclone, I would almost feel guilty modding it to hell and back. I would mainly feel bad because of how rare they are. All this got me on the ball of thaughts and now I am pondering doing a buick 3.8T into an S10.
Since i have never really looked into swaps I am not to sure about the motor mounts. Are the buick motor mounts the same as SBC ones?
As far as transmissions I think I would go th350...what exactly do I have to do to get a TH350 to work with the 3.8?
As for the whole project I was thinking mid 90's S10, 3.8T with new cam, ported heads, alky injection, and TE44 (to start out with) TH350 with 3500 stall and POSSIBLY a tranny brake. Send all that to either a 9" or an 8.8" rear end. maybe narrow the rear jsut a tad and mini tub it. I personally wouldn't mind seeing low 11's or possibly high 10's with a set up like this.
Has anyone ever seen this swap done before? I keep searching here and turbobuicks.com and have not seen anything.
I guess I am getting rusty, I can't even remember the stock weight of a GN anymore. anyone care to refresh my memory?
Thanks in advance everyone!!!
