awesome. id like the convience of a bigger car. my dad has those wheels on his vette. looks like a good, fun project.
sweet drivetrain wrapped in an early 80s truck body. cool, but not terribly practical. they do make fun toys though, but only available in autotragic.
I never was really a fan of these, but I had the sissy model Jimmy s15 as my first car. had the running boards, 2 toned pewter or grey and maroon(this was 13yrs ago..can't remember well), rear window spoiler, bug guard, rain guards; all from the factory. It looked amazing but the tranny went out in it.
uh yea...ANYHOW! Congrats on your purchase.

Well luckily I have a NV3500 Manual 5 speed tranny in it!
It would not be hard to clone. It uses a AWD diff from a Bravada (and Safari etc.) a 4.3l Vortec from any blazer, The hardest things to get would be a intake manifold and exhaust. It uses a Mitsu turbo. The only real diferences in the engine is pistons and head gaskets (I think). Real ones are collectors cars and are too expensive anyway.
Just a little update. I go the thing running quite well (even though it still needs more work). I took a video of it yesterday doing a 0-85 pull...

And five months later. I rebuilt the the entire front end with new parts, a quick ratio steering box and a Jeep steering shaft. Ebiach shocks, dropped the front end, raised the rear back to -1" stock, new speakerslots of engine tune up work including all new vacuum lines, intercooler, pulleys, ac delete, IACV, TPS, all new ignition, etc, etc...
Thanks man. It's kinda hard to believe that you ever owned one if you spell it like that ^
Any chance u still have the original intercooler?
I still have it. I have had it up for sale for a while.
Yes, I'm messing with the body next summer, when I move back to NorCal. It needs some cancer treatment in a few spots. I may also do a body drop, but I am still debating on that one.
Pm info on the intercooler please!
I would love to help u with a bodydrop also!

Thanks man. I am still considering the ups and downs of the body drop. It is already pretty crammed in my little truck.
I just had to show off my new rims I put on a couple days ago...
the A-team should've used a Cyclone. looks beefy, good stuff.
