87 Burb 4.8 swap

Everyone seems to doing LS swaps and I wanted to join the party.

Lots of firsts with this build:
First Squarebody
First Suburban
First Chevy Ive owned
First Big Block
First LS Swap
First motor swap on anything other than a racecar

I did my research, acquired all the parts and then waited for the big block to give up. It did about 3 weeks ago, intake gasket was leaking, tbi setup was failing and it was running really rough. I vowed to put 0$ into the 220,000 mile big block that got 9 mpg on its best day. Since then I have been working diligently to get everything swapped around.

Today was a big day, the 4.8 ran today without a lot of issues.

Not a lot of pictures, but I got a few. Got a short video of it idling and sounding like an old farm truck. The tune was very, rich because I didnt have the o2 sensors hooked up. Should get most things buttoned up tomorrow.
