49 Suburban 5.3 LS Swap

Let me start by saying I didn't build this suburban but I have made some changes since I bought it and I plan to make many more. Its a 49 suburban with a heidts mustang II front and in the rear it has a leaf spring set up with blocks. It rides and drives great. When I bought it the burb had a 350 with a 700r4 in it. I have rode on that for quite a while but after putting some miles on it I've noticed the engine likes to use quite a bit of oil and has quite a few leaks too. It still runs great and made a 2500 mile round trip on the hot rod power tour 2013. But the old 350 is pretty tired and its time to move on to LS power. So a few weeks ago I picked up a donar engine,trans,harness,pcm,etc from a local yard that came out of a 2000 Yukon 2wd. I am gonna post pics and fast forward to the point I am on this project now.

This is the burb. We snapped these pics on the 2013 Power tour in a small town in Texas.
