85 burb meets 6.0 lq4

[85burb]

I knew it would be bad. My dad put like 8 sets in untell he finally put up the money for a good set.

[85burb]

Was a good day today. Got lots of stuff in mail today. I kinda confused on my pushrods some say 2710 some say 2910 but they all say 7.400 inches. They are very heavy too. Very thick. New bolt did not say the tq spec....Any ideas?

[68GMCCustom]

ah you went for the sliders. Will give you more flexibilty....just make sure those puppies are locked down good when you get it where you want it. Torque specs for the crank pulley are in that 6.0 .pdf manual I posted.

[85burb]

YA i figured they would be the best ones for me. They can move forward one inch and back 2 i think. They have great welds and the name carved in them looks great. I have the manual but i think it is not a tq to yeald type bolt. Think it is reusable. Think it is a re branded ARP. Hope to install pushrods and bolt this week end. Also going to install the intake and hope to order most of the rest of the parts i need.

[68GMCCustom]

the specs I'm talking about are in ft. lbs.

[85burb]

It says to do 240 with old bolt, take old out then go 37 plus 140 degress. Do i still follow that prosses with new bolt even if it is reusable?

[85burb]

Well got some time to pay with motor today. Installed push rods, starter, headers, intake, finger tight balancer bolt. Cant wait to get rest of stuff.

[y5mgisi]

Man thats sexy!!! Any ideas on an updated date for instalation?

[85burb]

Hope to have rest of stuff ordered by end of november. Then i will just need time and place. No set date yet.

[85burb]

Got water pump painted and installed today. Just need the nuts that hold power steering pump on and i can install a belt.

[85burb]

Got upper hose today and map sensor and belt in today. Nothing worth pics. Trying to find spark plug wires that will work good.

[68GMCCustom]

you ever get a set of exhaust manifolds? I thought my LY6 manifolds fit fairly tight...until I saw some TrailBlazerSS manifolds. Funny thing......I plan on putting headers on our TBSS, had I of done it already...I would have had a set laying around!

[85burb]

No have not found a set. Montez said he would give me some next time he was coming to tyler but have not heard or asked him again. I did see that tbss maniflod thread. I wanted a set of maniflods LY6 he had. I guess i am still in the market for some.

[68GMCCustom]

So you're looking for LY6 manifolds?
I just happen to have a set! Only "slightly" modified

So how slightly modified are they. I mean do they still hold in the exhaust and what you want for them.

[68GMCCustom]

I ground on the passenger one under port #2 and the most to the exhaust flange. I'll have to get pics...but if you look at this one you can tell where I had to grind off to make it fit. It still has at least 1/4"-3/8" sealing surface all around the center.

oh...and there cheap!

[85burb]

Got some junk ordered today. MSD plug wires, alt pig tail, and EGR block off plates. Will call s&p and order sensor adapters tuesday. All that leaves it oil change stuff and i think that is about all i need.

[68GMCCustom]

I think all my stuff is either here or on the way...except for driveshaft which is being built.

[85burb]

I will be using stock drive shaft for a while. Next on list is everything that may or maynot break after engine swap is compleat like transfer case and rear/front end.

[85burb]

Just a thought it may be one of the best sleepers in my town. Who would think a 85 4x4 burb would be packin such a bad motor. Will deff suprise some people. I already get the "why are you putting that motor in that truck....It blongs in a camaro or something like that" talk.

All the more reason to put it in the Suburban.

I need some help finding the oil cooler bypass that goes on the oil pan over the filter. I can not find one that does not have a hole in it for a sensor. I want to use the one with no hole to put my oil sensor in factory location.

You can always just plug the sensor hole in the bypass you can find and if you decide to install a mechanical gauge later then the installation is super simple.

I have been looking for weld on collecter flanges. What do yall think of these.
