Re: Typhoon Engine Rebuild?
I am rebuilding mine at the moment.
I hate it and it's an absolute pain in the ass and I never ever ever ever ever ever want to do it again.
However...it is allowing me to know what actually is in it and on it rather than getting one that's already been put in. Also it's giving me a good education on these trucks as where I didn't have much when I started.

I would not have any faith in that engine. It's equipped with a TBI manifold. The seller obviously knows nothing about SyTys based on that photo. That engine is probably equipped with regular LB4 internals.
Go through one of the vendors on this board for an engine. Campbell Auto, RPM etc.

Re: Typhoon Engine Rebuild?
Why do you want to rebuild it? is it not working or leaking/smoke/under powered?
Maybe it just needs freshened up.
I learned a long time ago not to mess with it if it ain't broke

I remember reading on the forum someone said "All and any low milage SyTy engines should be assumed to need a rebuild unless proven other wise" :lol:

Either a Votec swap or freshen yours up!!!!
Make sure you don't take any shortcuts and spent accordingly while it's out.
To build the bottom end and such is going to cost you more than 2K!!!
