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
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...:m7:

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4

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

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
If any one lives neer corona ca dougs headers is looking for a test mule to fit headers on to 73-87 c-k square bodys with ls swap in it.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
I'm bummed that you are downgrading to a carb. :( Although it will be very different when the hood is up. The TV cables are just as easy to hook up on a DBC throttle body as it is on a carb.

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
update.....Motor was dropped off at my work again today. Will look at it monday i hope. If it is the right engine this time i will have more pics.
Was wondering if i put l92 heads on it the only manifold they sell is for 3500-7500 rpm. I will have a 670 holly on it. Have not picked out a cam yet. I have a 1800-2000 rpm converter on it. was woundering how bad it will kill the low end if i use the big manifold compared to the 1500-6500 rpm one. But the low rpm manifold does not work with the l92 heads. I need help on this. thanks |

Re: 85 burb meets 6.0 lq4
Got carb in mail. YAY... But now i have to get it to pass the state safty inspection. First place failed me for missing 1 of 8 lugnuts and if you floor truck with e brake on it moves a little. It has a 4;10 rear end and a 3.xx first gear and a 2000 stall converter in it. Not a hole lot is going to stop it. dand sure not a 30 year old drum brake... second place failed me for power steering drip. It leaks maybe 3 dropps a month. just want to get on with motor swap and not deal with small stuff.
