Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

Just been enjoying it while we gather up parts. We picked up a mildly built long block BBC and have been dressing it out...just finished the alt mount, working on the ps and ac compressor mounts next. We also swapped out the 700R4 for a built 400...should handle the BBC better.

Oh yea, "no replacement for displacement" holds true around this household!

I just dig big blocks, always have, always will!

This one is running forged 10:1 domes in a gen VI block w/ 049 heads, bit of a lumpy cam and a Holley 750 on a air gap.

Not alot more done this weekend, but did get the ps mount pretty much done...just got to drop a tensioner on it.

Just keep chipping away at it...

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

I've loved subs ever since before I could say it called them Burbans when I was about 3 or four. This one makes me love them even more. Super nice rig hope you guys really enjoy that thing.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

Still working on pulling the engine together... bolted up the t400, a set of tight fitting headers that I hope work, and dropped a edelbrock thunder series 800 carb with a spectre filter/housing on top that we liked.
We hope to start pulling the front of the burb apart next week and begin cleaning and prepping for the new drivetrain.

I'd like to, but still working on getting more parts in...talking to Justin at Scott's Hotrod's about some CPP parts for the front end.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

Thanks Justin!

I really appreciate your taking the time that you did this afternoon to help me fiqure out what I needed.

We ended up going with CPP's Grand slam kit that retains the stock 6-lug confiquration going to discs and dropping the front a bit with 2.5" spindles and the rear with some HD 4" springs...can't wait for the parts to get here!

Gonna start the tear down this week...

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build

Thanks Dino!

Well my dad had to head out of town for a few days so I thought I'd start pulling things off and got carried away... First thing tomorrow the motor will be out and I will have the suspension unbolted, the spindles are already busted loose.
