diggin this thread, decided to get it outta storage and prob do a 5.3/60e and DD it

 

F/I on a 8.1 with a 400turbo trans, along with the 9 inch out the back..

 

Id say do something with an 8.1 , not too many people doing things to them, because of the limited performance products, but im sure one with a little head work, a cam and some boost would bring a big smile to anyone's face.

 

A dura/alli is good for setting a cookie cutter apart from the rest but a '69 Suburban in good shape is fairly rare (at least around here.) I would keep it simple. 4 barrel, disc brakes, powerglide. Keep it clean and old skool and you'll have more people appreciate it then some tricked out, tweeked out ute.

 

take all the money your gonna spend and throw it into your 06

 

I have one for ya ...


1971 3/4 ton Suburban with all forged 383 stroker w 438 hp / 474 lbft , modified 4L60 w/ 2300 stall, 3.73 posi FF14 bolt rear. oh and 4 wheel disc brakes. @ 9.5 to 1 Comp

As of now n/a ... but that can change ... it had a 350/400t that I proudly put 300,000 miles on it which earned it a new motor and a new life hauling *** instead of hauling cars.

Do you know who your talking to?? he would never do something like that.. Hes had a good amount of extra cash over the last 3 years or so and only a little bit has went to his truck lol

The rest went to Gas for late night driving and food. And the occasional beach trip ha...

 

man screw that ill sit at home and chill and buy parts. food and driving around gets expensive

 

Amen... Hes realizing that now.

 

reason i wanted to do the 5.3 is i will have it extra when i drop in the LQ4 into the 06


food makes me happy tho
