88-98 spindles are different.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: front suspension swap

Hi
88-91 suburban would be the same. As 7387 truck, but there is 2 different kinds of spindle for 73-87 trucks, one spindle uses 1.25" thick rotors and the other is 1" thick rotors.

This is correct. An 88-91 Suburban would be the same as a 73-87 truck & would have 1.25" rotors (it's a Burb). 88-98 trucks would use different spindles.

Correct 88-98 trucks also had 2 different spindles, and 92-2000(early) were the same as 88-98 trucks.
