90' Suburban, sweet! Front buckets? 4WD? My buddy used to have an 86' back in high school, awesome cruising machine. Loaded it up with a kickin' system, shit we'd roll all day. We set peakers into the back doors and toggled them with switches. You'd open those doors and you had an instant tail-gate party.



I always vowed I was going to buy one and Lift it, do the mean 4x4 thing with it, rock guard to the roof, big ass push bars, winch, water tight, snorkel, roll cage, 350HP 5.7, everything......the ultimate bush mobile. (run-on sentence) I don't care, it would be sweet!

2wd, and i have a 3/4 drop kit for it(dunno if i want to install that or not). i'm in the process of building a roller 350 that should do 350hp and 420tq easily(same build as my buddy but i'm using a roller cam w/ the same specs) with vortec heads and edelbrock RPM vortec intake. i've got a 700r4 waiting with the best guts you can buy that i built last year for my other truck and never put in.

DROP THAT THING!!! If its two wheel drive, what else can you do? That sounds awesome, 350's are the best cause the parts are dirt cheap. Sounds like a sweet engine/tranny setup to me, I wouldn't do it any different. So, I guess it's going to be fuel injected then?

You know those Vortecs are good for up to 400 hp... just watch your valve clearance... factory clearance for lift is only up to .450".... and if your putting out 420 ftlbs.... I' should think your getting closer to 370ish HP... unless your going for some ass end of torque lol

[patgizz]

the engine they were on actually ran out of fuel line(5/16 stock v6 line because we didnt swap to 3/8 when we put the v8 in) before 5k and the hp was climbing quickly. chassis dyno'd it last year at carlisle. it also had crap for exhaust headers($79 cheapies) and $14 turbo mufflers.

the heads were fitted w/ the Z28 springs(bought from paceparts.com i think) and are good to .500 now.

well then you possibly got more than that lurking under the hood... sounds similar to my work in progress on my Camaro RS... although mine's been stroked out to a 383 from a 350
