I know this really isn't a 3rd gen question, but I know that someone here can help me out.

I'm looking for some good quality pics of the drivetrain from a Typhoon/Syclone...

Mainly what I am looking for is the front half of the AWD system it comes with(trans., transfer case, front axel, etc.) I know what most of you are going to be thinking, but this is not something that I am taking lightly. Within the next 2 years, I hope to have done enough research and stuff that I might be able to do a full on swap of the drivetrain into my 3rd gen.

Not something I am 100% serious about right now, but would still like to get an idea of what it'll take. Trust me, I know it's going to take A LOT of custom fabrication, but think of how much fun a turbo, 4.3L, AWD 3rd gen would be.

Just looking for the pics right now, so if you know where I could find some, please let me know.

 

AS fun as it sounds, wrong platform.
See Bravada/Rainer frame
See Impala SS3800 SC model, MAY one day have 4 wheel drive.
The car HAS TO start out as a FWD platform for adaptation!
PS Look how low is the F Body.
Compare to a Jeep or Chevy Blazer K5 4WD.
That's the room ya need to stick in the front tranny/transfer case.

 

Some Chebby Astros had awd & Pontiac Safaris. Might want to look at them

 

I was told just the other day the front drivetrain is exactly the same as 4x4, just the transfer case is different.

 

anything is possible with enough fabrication. With the proper adaptaion techniques, I think I might be able to swing somthing. Look at how low subarus are, they are AWD. Not saying that it's easy, just saying it's possible if I put enough thought and effort into it.

We also had a Typhoon come into my shop that was lowered to the point that we had to back it out because it would scrape the rocker panels on the door casing at the front of our shop, and it's only 1 1/2" tall.

I'll look into the Astro/Safari idea and see what I come up with. Thanks guys.

P.S. Karl, I might be getting a hold of you here in the next month or so to have you keep an eye out for a 3.4 mill for me.
