Same engine?

I was recently told that Syclones and Typhoons have a different 4.3 V6 than the Chevy S-10 "SS". Is this true? They're not running 3.8's are they? If it is a 4.3, how is it different from the "SS" 4.3? Can you put the Typhoon/Syclone parts onto the "SS" motor?

How available is a used AWD tranny, and what would be the approximate cost?

My little brother has a '95 S-10 "SS". However, he has this undying love for the Typhoon and Syclone. He knows little about the trucks, and would like more information for future reference on his own vehicle.

Thanks guys. :wink:

The difference in the long block is low compression pistons and billet main caps. They have a different Intake Manifold, Exhaust Manifolds, obviously a Turbo & Intercooler and use a different ECM/Wiring Harnbess vs a SS S-10. 2wd S-10's are difficult to change to AWD or 4WD as the frame are different, the easiest way would be to swap frames if he want AWD.
