Re: What else do i need?
are you going AWD or 2WD? if 2WD, you may get away with your stock tranny... also two syty cluster brackets...they're gold in color...they're a direct bolt-on but you might need to semi-remove the dash to install them...also the syty gauge bezel is one of a kind...you'll be better off spending more than a week to accomplish this...you'll also need time to tune as you'll be waking it up from the dead...and most importantly, you'll need a scan tool so you don't blow up your typhoon motor...if it contains stock internals, it might be a little weak if it was pinged to hell in a past life...i would run relatively low boost until you iron everything out...i'm sure i'm missing alot of things, but thats all i can think of for now...sounds like a major project that is totally do-able given you have the right parts to do so...buy a beater, take your time and good luck!!

Not sure how your stock fuel lines are routed but I had to run braided line to the motor since my TBI truck had a weak fuel line set up. Replaced stock pump with a syty pump but a Walbro would be better.
Also the sy/tys had a higher stall converter than the stockers.
While motor is accessible check vacuum lines and replace if they are show signs of dry rot. I dug up a vacuum line diagram on this site that was handy for the swap.
Maybe wire the starter at the solonoid before dropping motor in since there is hardly any room. I ran a heavier guage starter wire from the fuse block to the solonoid also.
If you don't have a stock airbox setup you will have to devise some piping for the air cleaner. I used PVC pipe and a K N filter. Tapped the PVC pipe for to tie into the PCV system on the engine. To make room for all of this I got a smaller battery and relocated it lower in the engine compartment.
Hope this helps.

You are also going to need the little pigtail that goes from the back of the cluster to the stock harness.

Jeff, as far as the caps i havent decided, im not looking to run sick horsepower, im happy in the mid 12's.. and even then i really dont race much im just looking to leave thee ocasional Vette do i really need 4bolts for that? I thought i might be able to get away with the stock mains on there..But im not sure, so if i need a stronger main let me know.

Reference your tranny...you can get a computer from FAST to run your tranny.
ok, i took Servando's advice and went searchin for a beater..so i begin at work talking to a few shops i deal with..the second call in im talking to this guy and he has a kid working for him that has a 90 s10 blazer 2 door 4wd already lowered roll pan primerd ready for paint ect...but it doesnt stay running needs a fuel filter or pump or somthing im thinking tis kid wants atleast 1500.00 for the truck and im about to pass...so i ask for shits and giggles how much? the manager then says well the kid is looking for the towing expence to get it towed to the shop plus a few hundred and bam i now have a nice ass s10 4wd for 250.00 dollars
so heres the delima, do i dare go all the way with this and convert to awd??
or do i stick to the original plan and go 2wd i mean my truck is a great daily driver and i really never wanted to rip it apart in the first place but it was doable so..
how much more work is it to do this? can i snag a bravada setup from the yards??will it be the same?
