85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
Ok i have decided to do the 6.0 swap and not a 383. I have just orderd my motor. It is out of a 03 gmc yukon. Has 88xxx miles on it. I will be putting it in my 85 chevy suburban 4x4. I will be using my 700r4 i just got from monster transmissions. I will also be putting a carb on it... I know it will not give gas milage but cant be a hole lot worse then what i get now. I need help with the headers. Have not found any that will work. Any one know where to get some? will post pics when i get motor.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
The headers from street&performance are the way to go. Why not leave the fuel injection. With a tune, 400hp and 20 MPG would be really nice. You could buy a standalone harness and fuel pump cheaper than a LS carbed intake and any carb that would be worth running. Just a thought. Good luck with the project and cant wait to see pics.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
Ya they deff have plenty of room. I only have one kid so she has the hole back for her self. When i got it i was looking for a blazer and found this a hole lot cheaper and it has upgraded axles. Love burbs my dad had one when i was a kid and they are the best cross country drivers ever made. It is like driving your sofa down the street.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
Bad news guys.......I looked at "my" engine and found out it is not "my" engine. They sent me a 5.3 insted. So i called them back and told them what they did. So they are going to ship me "my" real motor today. Should be at work in 3-4 days. But on a good note they put my alt on the motor they sent me so now all i have is dang alt. We can all cry together now...

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
So far that is the highest priced used alt ever made. Maybe the most famous also.
