Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Good to see you and the family is all safe and well and the burb is also for the most part. Soon you will be enjoying this beauty again and will forget about this. Best wishes with the parts and install.

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
Finally there is light at the end of the tunnel. Yesterday I picked up the replacement steering gearbox from Napa and installed it last night. this morning I bled the system and no leaks so I proceeded to fire it up and no leaks. So now I just have to wait on some cooperation from Mother Nature before I take it out the road and back.

OK, I am officially reading your posts again. I certainly hope all of this steering box stuff is behind you. The steering box in my Dually project has a small leak but I am not touching it. I will buy a bottle of Lucas power steering leak sealer..... |

Finally the new 409 SS custom exhaust has been installed on the Suburban. 2.5 inch exhaust with H-pipe, Dynomax Ultra Flo SS mufflers part #17218 exits the rear on both sides with slash cut ends. Misfit Autowerks in Washington Pa built the exhaust and installed. Really happy with the way it turned out, and the sound is amazing.

The last couple of months the Suburban has gone through yet more changes under the hood. The old combination which made the LS look like an old school big block was just not working bc of the size and weight of the vehicle. So I took all of that off and drug out the stock 6.0 intake and TB from under the workbench. Removed the stock injectors and replaced them with a set of 50# truck injectors from GM and bought a cheap CAI from Amazon. That was just what the doctor ordered. We are currently cleaning up the tune and so far it runs better than it ever has. Now I am in the process of cleaning up and painting the stock LS components that I installed back on the engine. Valve covers and coil packs are cleaned up and painted and some of the wiring is tucked away where it belongs. Today my engine/coil pack covers from Special Ops Motorsports came and I managed to get the pieces fitted and painted. Next up is to remove the intake and get it painted while the covers are being pinstriped. More updates to follow. I am hoping to have this project wrapped up for the 4th of July show I plan on attending.

These are the pieces I put together for my engine/coil cover kit. Engine cover, with mess insert for the holes which isnt installed yet. The coil covers and brackets. And a custom logo for the engine cover ( LS/C20) ... The pic of the engine cover painted would not upload for some odd reason.

Glad you are finally getting it dialed in. The trim pieces will look good! Check the size of your engine cover picture. It may need to be sized down some. I usually size mine down to 1150 pixels wide for the board. . |
