I just picked this up on Sunday. I've got a lot of work to do to it. I traded my '68 longwide for it. It's a roller, but the 327 from the '68 is going in along with a 700r4. I'm hoping to make a family hauler out of it.

I hate to see my V8 S10 go, but I'm trying to talk myself into selling it to get the Suburban on the road. I'm planning on replacing the quarters on it and having the back tailgate/hatch repaired. I'm going to have to replace all of the window regulators, but it shouldn't take to much to get it on the road. Let me know what you think, and thanks for having me.

Congradulations and welcome to the world of Burb. Looks like a nice project. I like your choice of drivetrain. Just curious as to what rear gears you plan on running?

Dying2Live · 07-29-2009, 10:22 PM

I don't know what's in the rear right now, but if I had to choose, I'll go with 3.73's, maybe 3.42's. I've got 3.73's in my S10 right now, and I was happy with them with the 700r4 in it, I'm not happy with the RPM's now that I have a th350 in it.

Nice trade, good luck with the build!

Dying2Live · 07-30-2009, 10:13 AM

Thanks guys. Yeah, I hate to see the S10 go, but it'll be nice to enjoy my vehicle with the whole family.

Quick question, are the motor mounts the same on these for a BBC as well as a SBC??

**lolife99** · 07-30-2009, 10:19 AM

BBC frame stands and the rubber mounts are different. (as are the 6 cylinder mounts)

Dying2Live · 07-30-2009, 10:22 AM

Alrighty, I may have run across a 454 from my brother, I'll be looking for some different motor mounts as well. Thank you.

thats a nice burban looks to be in pretty good shape.. What year is your burban? i have a 1969 burban that iam putting a 402 bored out to a 408 with a 400 tubo and i had to change the motor mounts i used the big block mounts out of a 72 pickup hope that helps you

My burban is a 70 model. i'll probably put a 67 front end on it, and shave the sidemarkers on the back. As far as the mounts are concerned, it helps!! I'll be keeping an eye out for some. If not, I got a 350 that'll sit in there nicely.
