Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
I picked it up new from a guy who bought the wrong one. It was supposed to be for a 3/4 ton Blazer.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Clean it, paint it, hook it up, attach all the accessories, and burn some gas

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Here's a little progress. A clean and painted engine for the swap. A nice shot of some brackets getting the degreaser treatment.....and for anyone considering a BBC swap, here is the measure you need. With the clam shell mounts on the block you will need your mounts approx 16.75'' apart. This is the centerline of the holes in the clams.
Lastly, the engine is just about in one piece again with a bunch of Felpro gaskets.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
I used Duplicolor Chevy Orange Engine Paint #1620; rattlecans. They do make a primer, but it doesnt specifically say to use it. I cleaned the crap out of the block and then wiped it down with wax and grease remover before finally spraying. It was on the cold side, so I did about 3 med/thin coats.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
I was just wondering, I sandblasted mine and used wax and grease remover. I used VHT orange. I did it in July and it's been sitting since. I was just worried about it rusting for some reason. Are you gonna put anykind of clear on it to protect the paint?

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Coming along nicely. Did you have any luck finding some 3/4 ton frame brackets for the motor mounts?

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Okay, Jeff - what's with the fancy all-thread rods to measure off of? What, twisted together coat hangers too ghetto for you?

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
The '73-'87 C20's frames are closer in height to our trucks frames than the '73-'87 C10 frames. I have yet to install a set, but I have measured the frames and compared them. There was another member that originally brought this to my attention.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
I guess only Jason wanted to wave goodbye
![]() For those who mentioned putting material under the top of the mount; this is only neccessary if you use the factory lower holes.....at least as far as I can tell. ........here's the pics. ![]()

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics

![]() ![]() A mid-day update as I know many are on the edge of their seat!! ![]() I notched the frame back roughly .5'' to fit the mount in place. I also redrilled the 2 lower holes which are directly below the factory holes. This puts my mount holes at exactly 16.75 inches to center. I will put a thick washer(1/16th) under the front lower hole to act as a spacer as there is a little rocking of the mount. Now I just need to blast 40+ years of grease and dirt and move a brake line and my trans lines. Also getting a coat of black rattle to pretty things up.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Once you get that engine set in there, you might want to check the carb flange on the intake for level and also check to be sure that your trans output is in the same plane as the pinion in the rear end.
I did a little measuring regarding my previous post on the C20 motor mount brackets. In the area of the motor mounts, the '63-'66 frames measure about 5 3/8" tall. The '73-'87 C20 frames measure about 5 1/2" tall. The '73-'87 C10 frames measure about 6" tall. Just a little FYI.

I'll confirm that measurement on my frame; I'm sure it's the same, but what the hay!! ![]() It looks as though the engine will sit down in the bay nicely. Long tube headers are definitely a no go, at least if one is lowered or bagged. I think my choice of headers will work well, too. I'm gonna find out anyway, as I have my new brake line made and I still need to do the trans lines.

Re: 1964 Suburban Pics
Well, my frame is 5 3/8th's inches high. But no, not much. I have just been cleaning up parts and tracking down a couple things I need. I need to clean up my inner fenders and figure out how to hook up my TV cable to the carb correctly. I am also putting my serpentine system together and need one part.
My parents are visiting so I am not doing much work on it for a couple days. I do have the mounts in and my brake line relocated. The fire wall also has a fresh coat of black. I'll get a pic.
