Can't help with the drop but welcome to the board. Sounds like a great ride. Post pictures when you get a chance.

I just put an LS1/4l60e combo in my '67 Panel Truck and I love it. There is an LSx swap forum on here.

Welcome 1971 Burban. My burb has the 6.0 and 4L80E which performs really well.

There are many threads on here regarding lowering that will provide ideas and options. Lots of members have used ECE for their parts. Here is their website. http://www.earlyclassic.com/home.aspx

We all love pics so when you have a chance post up some of your burb.

thanks guys why is the 6.0 ls so much more than the 5.3 ????

Price wise? Probably because there are fewer of them available coupled with folks thinking they need a bigger engine than the 5.3.
