Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Thanks Cap!
Very clean buggy, that looks great! Y'all need to bring that down to our neck of the woods! Started with a HO502 (iron rectangular port heads), worked the heads, custom cam/computer/tune, port matched the Ram Jet intake to the heads, worked the throttle body a bit, and swapped in some higher flow injectors...had Mena Street and Performance do all the intake/TB/Comp/tune work...it runs extremely well

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Hey Chad, good to hear from ya. I didn't have room at the old place for the jeep...kept it at a buddies house. I've taken it all over Cavanaugh...good times! Tulsa will be nice, we lived there for 4 yrs. The engine in yours looks great, really like the color combo/details!!

Wow, just awesome work all around. I have been on this board for a couple years and never looked at this build, my loss. Just read all of it. Great work, great ideas, great family build. Loved it!

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
More like a busy weekend with a poor return...
We swapped out the Pro Comp HEI dist (get what you pay for) in favor of a MSD dist/coil/box set-up chasing a dead #2 cylinder...it wasn't the ignition! Dug a little deeper and found the problem...we think that it's been this way for a little while. Ran pretty good with no noise that we could recognize for longer than we care to admit!!! There may have or have not been a time (or two) that we over revved it goofing around We're thinking that the 2" or so piece of broke off push rod found its way to the pan with out causing to much damage...nothing obvious visually, by ear, or gauges?? Gonna drop a couple new push rods and a rocker on tomorrow and see what happens

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Good old stock rocker arms, never use them, can't be trusted for abuse and I abuse everytime I drive. Looks like good pushrods, well were.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Yea, I've always been suspicious of them...this one, I guess, is alright. What we've got now is much better...good upgrade.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Good idea. I always upgrade to 3/8 pushrods on a performance big block.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
All big blocks are 3/8's pushrods, just crappy ones, you upgrade to 7/16's rods. but takes some work.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Got it up and running again. MSD Ignition, roller rockers, and all 8 cylinders running made a pretty big difference!! Damnedest thing!!
