I drive a 98 AWD for a taxi, and I really wish I could swap a Syclone/Typhoon setup into it, 4.3 turbo with AWD in a minivan would be seriously bad-ass. :)
@woodytorinoo68 - I imagine the LT1 would be an easier swap. The 4.3 is directly based on the LT1, I am told it shares the same piston and rod assembly. However, a V8 swap would require changing the injector harness, post-94 engines are SFI and control each injector individually. You may find it easier to run a turbo on the 4.3 (SyTy style), will probably run just as fast if not faster.
What do you guys have in the astro van. I take it not an 4.3? I have heard you can get a lot of horse power out of an 4.3. Damn!!!! I wish my astro van ran like that!!!! did it catch a second or a third at the end? Im thinking a third! Thats bad ass!!! Did you trick out the 700 r4? I have a carpet cleaning van, I need to do this to my van so I can beat the coit or standy steamer vans to the jobs!!! :)

@talismenF22 : Its just a good ol' dual exhaust running to a single 2-chamber Flowmaster muffler. Just the muffler wont do it. Your gonna need a nice cam & a good set of alum. heads to duplicate the sound of my van.
@LT1ASTRO i have a 95 4.3 i wanna do the lt1 or ls1 did you use a 700r4 or a 4l60 i have the 4l60 e a 98 rear limmited slip with low gears and i was woundering if you went injected and if so what ecm\ wiering did you have to use and or make my 2nd burn out after intake injector mods and ecm superchip she runs well smoked a hemi truck i was suprised , check my burnout at woodytorinoo68 and if you have any ideas on wiering is cool
you guys should pull the engine out, and transplant it in the cargo area, about 6" in front of the axle, mount the gas, battery, radiator, and any extra weight behind the axle, and have a wheelie popp'n mini van. Let me know when its done.
@Buick97Custom I do 2, What do you have in it. Mine had the grandmother 305 in it. I got 300,000k out of the 305,until the cam lobes went flat. so I said fuck it and threw a 350 4 bolt main in it,with a 9.5 to 1 comprssion with 202 valves and mill heads and I threw the tubro 350 lock up out and put a 700 r4 in it. Also have headers and dinomax mufflers and dumps. It has a nice mild rumble to it. fixing to put a bigger cam (comp 294) in it and replace the head with dart heads. maybe 315 hp 4 now
@GulfCoastThirdGen - The rice burners get mad when my 98 AWD model can burn them pretty much stock. All I've done to it is Bosch wires, Plat+4 plugs, good air filter and 89 octane. I run this one and a previous 2WD model as a taxi. Riced-out Civic starts throwing revs at me one night. I wasn't going to do it because I had 6 passengers. Guy in my front seat said he'd tip me $20. It was all over before I got to third gear. Shoulda heard my passengers heckling the guy at the next light. LMFAO!
@Alrgc2Air I have a 95 AWD had an air conditioner failure so it was off replaced buy just a pulley striped it out Jack,spare...did a 13.5@98MPH 3"exhaust with a high flow cat high pressure fuel injection system all new tank and lines high energy ignition want a programmable chip & headers & a stall converter so I can rev @ launch brother says that will drop it to mid to low 12's easily & it will never spin the weals unless on snow,ice or gravel a single turbo and a cam will get you into the 9's
@Alrgc2Air yes talked to my brother he doupts 9's but says low 10 if I go turbo and cam the AWD is the same as a typhoon or syclone but he says aerodynamics on the van are not as good but I pointed out weight is lower in a striped out Astro cargo van he is an engine builder and just under pro drag racer just the way he wants it he hates doctors and that's part of the license for pro he knows his shit and turned the wrenches on My astro sleeper
@BLACKLACDTS I wouldn't sell it you don't have to believe it a typhoon comes off the assembly line pulling 12.5@110 astro awd with a few mods is quite quick
@sirlonghair whoa! where are you geting you info? those numbers are way off bro. my cousin had a syclone when it was brand new and it did not run 12.5 @110 stock. more like 13.6 @106mph(not sure about the mph its been a while) and i had a astro awd 4.3 work van and it actually was quick for what it was but its far FAR from a 13 second ride. even with all bolt ons it wouldnt be a 13 second ride.
