Dbear's '71 4x4 Burb with some USA Military Diesel - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DBear · 06-01-2011, 04:50 PM

Clint...
Well, about the only inspiration i can give you is that I really hope this dang engine cranks and runs...LOL. Did not do any mods....just straight outta a CUCV, into the Burb. I did move the motor cradle forward 2 inches, which was really to accommadate the new 700R4 Tranny. Oh, I did put a hydro-boost system in it.....which I got outta an 86 Burb, and it went in fairly easy. As for the exhaust, not sure just yet, probably flowmaster or something similiar.

And....I am gonna put your 16 inch wheels on it with some 285/75's!!!

Your project is way cooler than mine.....you have all that badass fabrication.

babylonflyer · 06-01-2011, 08:50 PM

Very cool.... makes me want to jump in the 4x4 crowd again!

thirdstreettito · 06-16-2011, 08:20 PM

Any updates? This is a cool burb you have going!!!

DBear · 09-02-2011, 12:11 AM

Just an update here fellas....I FINALLY found someone who is really gonna help me get this rig running! Ryan, a board member here was kind enough to offer his services, and it will be going to him tomorrow and hopefully in the next 2 weeks we will be listening to that 6.2 Diesel clatter!

Also, want to say thanks to Clint "Woodright" for all his help with wheels and many questions answered. Sometimes you can make some good friends on these forums....and looks like I have a few so far! Thanks guys......

woodwright · 09-02-2011, 03:14 AM

Anytime boss. Let me know if I can help some more. Have you called Idaho fish and game? You could become Ranger Tommy.

67_SS396 · 09-03-2011, 01:35 AM

It was good to meet you tonight Tommy. I look forward to helping you get this thing up and running. This is a great board, I've made a lot of friends from here over the last 11 years.

Sorry, I've been too busy working to take pics, but will try to tomorrow. If my leg doesn't give me too much trouble, the ole girl will be ready to fire in the afternoon. All that's left is to mount the fan and the trans cooler.

67_SS396 · 02-10-2012, 03:05 AM

It's running. We had to replace the injection pump and now chasing down a few leaks. Other than that, it's coming along nicely.

Sounds sweet! I know you are happier than anyone to hear that clatter. You have a good friend in 67 SS 396, but I don't have to tell you that. I hope that you havn't been to busy to vote for the suburban diesel on this months truck of the month !!

DBear · 02-29-2012, 11:31 AM

Clint....we are doing pretty good down here bud, just finishing this last semester of school....and boy am I ready for that! How is things for you guys up North? Cold, Snow? Talk to you soon!

JBclassix, yes the clack, clack, clack is music to my ears right now!

John, I do love the clatter.....so far! I will go check the voting thread out!

Thanks for the words of encouragement on this process.

Coboyle04 · 05-11-2012, 08:34 PM

the engine sounds great

DBear · 05-12-2012, 01:54 AM

Update....Burb is running, just not driving quite yet. Gotta adjust the 700R4 tv cable, run exhaust and should be good to go.....

I built a auxiliary battery box and a front replacement bumper ( sorta winch style without the winch ). Still got to finish welding the bumper up and smooth/blend joints. I am hoping it looks good on there, but we shall see very soon. When I get it mounted, I will post more pics.....

I will also be posting more pics of swap process and other things changed on the burb. hope you fellas like the change!

Here are some pics of the unfinished bumper and aux. battery box.
