Default 94 Blazer Typhoon clone

Hoping I might be able to find some help here, I am probably doing the reverse of what most people would do but I want something different. Bought this

And now looking to take most of the interior typhoon stuff out and will be making it back into the blazer interior, I will be wrapping it once it is done the teal that the Typhoon's could come in. I am looking for the blue interior in very good shape to put into mine. So far I have got a couple of the parts I want to put into it as well, the biggest thing is that it still needs a motor. Previous owner had a 5.3 twin turbo in there, had thought about copying it but leaning towards getting a 6.0 in there to get it running. Then over the winter stick on a turbo and probably go to a 4l80 to take the power since the 700r4 will probably not be able to handle it.
Here are the parts I have so far




Then this is what I am trying to get for a new interior

Good luck with it although it’s a shame you can’t restore it back to original, Typhoons are rare birds

Thanks, it wasn't a Typhoon that's why I am OK with doing all of this

Yeah, thats what a clone is. Up until the C7's where they do verts as a Z06

Yep, a fake. Same thing as wearing a fake Rolex. Good luck with your build

Appreciate it, had been looking at them for a while and almost bought one right after I got my Monte SS but then wouldn't have been able to do anything to either for a while. So then the prices went way up, now I am very content with running it like this that way I can put an LS into it and put some power down without worrying about destroying a rare vehicle.
