@albertojavier@universeodon.com @ahltorp@mastodon.nu @rrustema020@mastodon.nl The Syclone had a turbo 4.3 V6 which had been built internally to handle boost and also used a custom intake, and it had a modified torque converter, and it used the AWD transfer case from the Astro/Safari vans. The suspension was also lowered vs. the stock S15 IIRC. The 454SS meanwhile, took the 454 big block out of Chevy's 2500 and 3500 pick-up range at the time, and stuck it in a regular-cab 1500 chassis, and turned it into something that was fast in a straight line, as sticking a big engine with a lot of power in a relatively small, light chassis, is going to lead to something like that. Dodge did basically the same thing for the Ram 1500 in the Ram SRT-10, but with the Viper engine and drivetrain.
