Re: Polar Bear Suburban
I believe I saw some pictures on IG where he is out galivanting around in the reborn K10, I'm waiting for an update on either of his squares.

Re: Polar Bear Suburban
That he is. I'd be there with them, but I need to stick close to home as my Mom isn't doing well healthwise. The rebuild of the K10 and my 8.1 swap sucked up most of his wrenching time over the last year.

Re: Polar Bear Suburban
Jumping on the 8.1L band wagon, well I have been on it for a while but finally getting to do some work on mine. Wanted to thank you Larry for all the information that you have provided on this swap. I was wondering if anyone has ever put one of Raylar's superchargers on one of these while doing the swap? It is something that I am looking into and thinking it would be a lot of fun. Only thing I am wondering about is the pulley set up as I am running the brackets for the top mount a/c compressor. Called Raylar but haven't heard back form them. We will see where that goes.

Re: Polar Bear Suburban
I noticed in an early post that you steamed cleaned the engine bay after removing the engine. Which steamer did you use? And did you do any scrubbing, or did the steam handle most of it?

As fun as it was, for what I do with mine it would be complete overkill. It's worth every penny though. I saw it before he installed it. It was very well done.
