Re: my new 1963 GMC Suburban.........
 

I see from the white caster you found out how much these beasts weigh! You probably have extra window latches because they took out the front sliders.

Re: my new 1963 GMC Suburban.........
 

did you extend the height of the rear stand due to burbs higher back end?

Re: my new 1963 GMC Suburban.........
 

Yea the Body is heavy !!! The Latches are the only one i have for the Burb!


i build it by myself !


and here are the New Motor it´s a 350 HO 330HP and i traded 50 Diecast Models for the Motor !!

http://up.picr.de/9661248cyd.jpg

Re: my new 1963 GMC Suburban.........
 

Great progress! I don't know much about diecast models, but it seems like a good deal to me.

Re: my new 1963 GMC Suburban.........
 

Pat
Did you get that engine from a reputable person? Reason I ask is that the GM 330hp HO350 engine comes with the Vortec heads, which your engine does not have.....just sayin.

Re: my new 1963 GMC Suburban.........
 

Thanks , the deal is realy okay !!



Thanks Captain , i have Numbers for you ,maybe you can help me to tell me what engine i have !

Engine Block #10243880 5.7 SGI CC7220
Head #14096217

I got the engine from a buddy of mine and his ok , the engine has only 1hour on it ,nearly brand new!
Here in Germany cost the engine round abound $5850 with oilpan and valve cover!

Its great that other Members have an Eye on other Members!!
Thanks a lot!!!!!:metal:

Re: my new 1963 GMC Suburban.........
 

Hey Pat i belive you have a ZZ4 GM Crate which was rated at 330hp and had a roller cam.

Good deal...

I'm no expert though...
