Re: Saved A "Burb"
I love Suburbans! Yours is very motivating. Home Owner Associations suck....I'm in one and NONE of us knew we were even in it! I think we all got shafted but everyone is easy-going and they even voted me out of the road maintenance fee since my driveway doesn't border the road. I chip in with other things so they know I'm on the level.
Your thread is really encouraging. |

Re: Saved A "Burb"
Took a cruise with some friends to the College Station meet last weekend weather was perfect for a Sunday January cruise. I let someone else drive my 69 Camaro while I drove the Burb.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
I came across a good deal on a wrecked 1999 Silverado 5.3l / 4l60 for $800.00 . So Im going to do the 5.3l swap. I worked on fuel injected cars at a dealer for 15 years and I tune cars with HPtuners now so I should be able to keep the cost down. I have a guy that is going to rewire the harness so the PCM can go to the back and under dash. Going to change the intake and keep it clean under the hood. Hoping to sell the 350/350 complete eng/trans combo to offset most of the cost of the 5.3l truck. Hoping to get started on the burb in a few months after I finish another project. There will not be pics of tons of new parts on the floor this it is still a very low budget build.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
Been busy but making progress on the 5.3/4l60l swap. I was able to sell 350/350 eng and trans for 925.00 and only paid 800.00 for 5.3 truck . Bought some new adapter plates for eng mount that worked well. Going to try the frame mount fuel pump first. Traded the truck manifolds for some Camaro manifolds and had to do some minor fab work. Did the rewire on the harness myself relocating the harness to rear putting pcm behind glove box saved $400.00 thanks LT1swap for that info. Got the driveshaft shortened and back in so getting close to firing it up soon. Did aquire a new windshield in one of the earlier truck trades. Enlisted some help from some rookies to help me install and managed to crack it worse than the one I pulled out. Kind of lost track but still think im somewhere between $1500-2000 cash in Burb.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
Thanks guys, Harness looks intimidating but the website lays it out step by step. I have powered it up and hooked up my scan tool to the Data connector so far so good. Just need to fire it up.

Re: Saved A "Burb"
Close to being done with the 5.3/4l60 swap. After selling other engine buying eng mounts, fuel pump, Shorten driveshaft, Junkyard alternator, Hp tuner credits to disable VATS and other misc parts swap done for little less than $500.00. So far I like being able to start without pumping gas pedal, O/D is a big plus. Got Brave and took it on a long roadtest got on the Interstate blew off a trans cooler line, got it repaired and managed to lube everything underneath and one side of Burb. Used the stock radiator , coolant staying at 194 Deg F. Decided to stay with stock air box which keeps intake air cooler than HOT AIR intakes made out of metal.
