- Thread starter Johnboy

92 GMC Typhoon #0331
Truck is basically stock except for L35 heads and ATR catback exhaust.
New Engine with about 7K on it.
· Forged Pistons
· Eagle Rods
· New SCAT Crankshaft
· Rebuilt L35 heads
· New AFPR
· 40# Injectors

· New Walbro Fuel pump
· New Cap,Wires, Rotor and Plugs
· Alky Injection
Truck is currently tuned with code 59 and will include the following:
· LM1 wideband with O2 bung welded in
· Moates knock gage
· Moates interface cable
Front suspension rebuilt with Moog parts and Jeep steering shaft
Originally from California so very little to no rust.
A/C works and blows cold air
Interior is 8 out of 10
· Pioneer Radio with four new Boston Acoustic Speakers
· 93 Fat Man Seats
Exterior is a 8 out of 10
· Few minor door dings
· Paint is faded on the roof and hood some otherwise shines very nice.
· Cladding in nice shape a few small cracks.
· Rims in nice shape with good 245/50 tires
· 1” rear lowering blocks
The Bad
Truck has some piston slap when cold, but quiets down when warm.
Truck has higher compression than stock so Alky needs to used consistently to keep KR down.
Truck does have a rebuilt (Salvaged) title as of 1996, the dash cluster was missing so total mileage is unknown. Odometer currently shows 59K with an estimate of about 100K on Vehicle.
NOTE: In RI they do not issue titles on Vehicles over 10 yrs. old, only have current registration.

Where in RI? I'm in nw corner of the state could possibly check it out for someone with sellers approval...Mike
I'm in Coventry the Western end, only problem is truck is in storage for a few more weeks.
I'm certainly open to adding some money for the right car. Really don't want to add more than say 4K?

why does it have a salvage title? Recovered theft due to the different seats, etc? Is it a Sy/Ty motor or a vortec 4.3 which explains the high compression?
It was a recovered theft back in 1996. The owner at the time couldn't figure out what was wrong with the truck so they decided to make it look like it was stolen. Some body parts, interior were taken off. The last owner went completely through this truck, I have pictures of it. It's a genuine sy/ty engine with correct pistons .
