How to make a typhoon out of a full size blazer

[618 Syndicate]

I think there is an episode of Trucks or whatever where they did that and made an LS swapped AWD OBS.

That'd be awesome!

there’s a guy on YouTube doing some turbo awd truck stuff too NBS. (He’s got a sweet obs 2500 suburban too)

There's a guy that built an awd olds cutlass, too.....might want to look to see what he did. Lighter vehicle of course.

TBSS driveline IIRC.

And bits of Oldsmobile Bravada too. That car is awesome.

Being AWD and not 4wd, I believe they were identical. There's a special place in Hell for the front oil pan and the diff that sandwiches it.

Thanks for the responses. I forgot about the red one on trucks....the broke a front axles or cv joint in a rally course. The awd cutlass, used trailblazer ss components and front frame parts. He also made a bunch of carbon fiber panels for it. He was on hoonigan and their this and that. Even Larry Chen did a u tube video on it. It now has a 900 horde boosted 6.0 ls. My goal was to use a square body s10.....u can build one with aa awd transfer case out of an ASTRO van or bravado, Also the front dif out of the ASTRO or bravada..ironically it's one side of the front awd dif. Trouble is I can't find a decent 2door reasonably. I was gonna do a four door and even make the ground effects myself. Then I found the 2 door Tahoe. My goal is for it in either black or red, with a gmc grill with a center recessed bumper gmc used on a black show truck in the early 90s....which became the gmc style on the nbs. Plus I would like to go with the newer trucks 14 inch disc's. I appreciate the input and will keep u guys informed. I have been a minitrucker previously, with s10s, 2 Dr s10 blazer and convertible nissan hardbody. I'm actually doing a head gasket on a mighty max extra cab!

@Dropped88 would know about that. Great idea.

Just a single turbo V6. Nothing special by today's standards, but definitely for their time.

I'd say 0-60 in 4.3sec(or 4.6 depending on source) is special by any standards-not many cars come clpse even today unless they are expensive/top spec versions.

Yep, that's the one. Very cool build. I've considered this for my '89 RCSB K1500 using the entire drive train from my '04 Escalade donor. (It won't happen but it'd be cool as hell!)
