Appreciate the feedback. It has been a AZ car for 8 years. I bought it at a Phoenix auction and had found some records to suggest it was from the Santa Cruz CA area before that. No rust anywhere. I do have the original wheels, but they wouldn't fit over the front brakes at this point. I...

OK, so I was giving the rarity too much value. It is not a $25k truck. It is also not a $8.5k truck...

Handful of photos-

Odo reads 134K, but as mentioned every bit of the driveline has been replaced, except the front diff. Also have the original 4.3 available for a rebuild. Too nasty outside to get photos today, will get some when we dry out.

1993 Typhon. Not driving it as much as I used to, and starting to think it needs a home where it can be appreciated, but not sure what the market will bear. The good- Freshly rebuilt engine. .30 over, 4 bolt conversion eagle H-beam rods, JE cast pistons, Crane 212 cam, Vortex heads, 60#...

Just to close this out, I was able to get my old unit back. Had to got full stalker until the shop in Florida was tired of me. 112trh Street was a joy to work with. They're super busy, but communicated progress and delays, which I can live with. They determined my core was not leaking but my...

I will give them a call. Since I have not been able to get mine back, I will either need to source a damaged unit, or maybe find someone in central Florida to try to pick mine up. I was looking at an used ATR, but I suspect the core will not be a lot better than my original, and it is priced...

Knocking on a year later, and while I did get my money back, I still have not received my original leaky unit, and the truck has not moved since mid-May 2023. I hate to buy another 30 year old part, but getting one made is looking unlikely...

During a recent rebuild I went with the 412. I wanted a daily driver with a bit more punch, and that describes it well, even a bit too well. I suspect a 415 would have also met my goals and I likely could have lived with a 422. Did you have vortec heads, and a higher flowing turbo? Without...

I dug out my notes and gave them a call yesterday. Turns out I was a bit misinformed. I had found a photo of custom SyTy intercooler on a site that sells intercooler cores and universal units. The sent me the contact details for the shop that did the work, and I filed it for the future...

I very much appreciate the offer, but I am good. I bought a new car to be my daily (and as a birthday present to myself). I had a couple play cars that I could have used, but they are less practical than the Typhoon, and now the Typhoon will be demoted to play-car status. I had avoided going...

Report back when you find out. My truck, which was my daily driver, has been parked since the end of April. I know there was another shop in the Pacific Northwest that has done at least one, but they too need an original to compare against...

Six weeks later and still no response from the 'business' that claimed to be making these. Definitely not recommended...

I wanted a couple tweaks to the design, but they said even without those they would prefer to have one for comparison. The request did not seem super unreasonable, and the original had leak, so it was not really a good idea to keep using it. I want to be clear that I am not accusing them of...

I hate to do this, but I have to recommend against any member ordering from Radiator Technologies, the vendor identified in this thread. I pre-paid for one of these custom units and shipped my old one to be used as a reference. I did receive a confirmation of payment and that my original had...
