Been Dreaming/Planning about working on my Burb again

Lately, I've been wanting a vehicle that's better suited to use as a family hauler/daily driver. I'm almost done getting my 60 GMC truck road worthy...my health has really slowed my progress on this tho. I have a 67 suburban that's been sitting ever since I brought it home and I think I'm going to try and get that going after I finish up the few things my GMC needs. I was going to try and do an engine swap on my 83 Z28, but I think I am going to hold off on that...I like the car but I'm not sure I want to keep it as a long term project.

So I'm thinking I will use my 350 originally planned for the Z28 in my 67 Burb and then for a transmission I will either use an NV-3500 or maybe a TH-400. The Burb currently has an SM-420 in it and I'm leaning towards the NV-3500 because it has overdrive...I just hope it will hold up to pulling a camper trailer I plan on getting with my tax return soon. I found a screamin deal on a 30ft airstream.

Thanks for letting me ramble, here's a pic of the burb the day I brought her home.
