syclone engine swap?

[Dr. Rudy]

Well i would assume you could use/modify some s10 4x4 front suspension parts to fit the front axles in there.

Probably be better off setting a body on an s10. I know nothing about these things but probably would be easier to do that in my eyes.

it would pobably be easier to swap the body onto the awd frame, rather then risk the integrity of the gbody frame by modifying it

dammit got treed by chris o

I just finished a restoration on my Syclone and I think you would run into several major issues trying to switch to AWD. The Syclone uses a torsion bar suspension up front which requires a crossmember mount that is narrower than a g-body frame and would not clear the floor. The Syclone frame is also narrower overall so you would have to Channel the body over it. You might be able to adapt frame stub from an S-10 and adapt a coilover set to work with the front axle. You would also have to clearance the floor to fit over the transfer case which might get into the drivers seat mounts.

sounds badass and since these trucks are going for 17500+ in my area it sounds like a good deal why not

just an idea : remove syclone body, add block/spacer box the frame skip the fr. bar and put the g-Body on = awd

I would expect super fast 0-60 GL (if you can get that fool to sell his BROKE car for under a grand)
