Special K is correct!!!!!! Being in an area that has emmissions testing (a joke) for someone looking to build a Suburban you have a great starting point!!!! The problem is, the cost to put an engine and tranny set up in it is about what you could sell it for. I bought a great running northern rust bucket 1990 Suburban on Ebay a year ago for $400 and used the complete running gear in my 1972 Suburban. If you could find a deal like that and had the time to swap it...you would have an emmissions free vehicle that would last a lifetime. If you decided to try to sell it the way it is.....advertise it as an emmissions free vehicle!!
