I think Typhoon-C disappeared from the face of the Earth. It's sad.

Re: Where is Typhoon C?
The owner contacted me via email today.
I am completely disappointed to see it in this condition, seeing how it used to look like this at 17k miles:

Re: Where is Typhoon C?
"4.9L Intercooled Turbocharged Busch Grand National motor ($45,000) has replaced the original Typhoon motor."
I have to wonder about that. Take a look at the pics and see that they are still using center bolt valve covers and what appears to be KB headers. I dunno about you, but I doubt Busch Grand National motors ran what appears to be stock heads. Most aluminum heads are perimeter bolt. Then they'd have to modify the lower intake to fit the heads as well. I just don't buy ti.

Re: Where is Typhoon C?
Based on the amount of work required to make those parts (intake/headers/etc) work on a set of Nascar heads, it doesn't surprise me that they aren't aluminum. I'd be suspect of the rest of that motor as well (who knows what else was swapped). I don't think Nascar ran 8.35:1 compression either. I think the description is full of a lot of shit.

He is only referring to the fact that the bowtie blocks Jim used were used by the Busch cars. As far as I know, all of his motors did rough in at 4.9L with a 4.125" bore and stroker crank. Silly is right, all of Jim's motors that I am aware of used L35 heads.
