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.

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.

If my family gets any bigger im going to have to go with a burb and lsX swap. cant wait to see your build

From what i have found it is about the same price efi or carb. With the carb i dont have to worrie about any tv cable hook up problems. The efi and carb make pretty much the same power. I have a thread going about that. With the same heads and cam they are just about exact. The carb has a dit more hp but the efi has a tad more tq. I just want to be able tune it my self. It will still use the same coil set up individual coils and will be fully tuneable. The controller comes with a 2 step rev limiter and nos retard. Mostly just easer and user frendly. But thanks for the info.

Ya they deff have plenty of room. I only have one kid so she has the hole back for her self. When i got it i was looking for a blazer and found this a hole lot cheaper and it has upgraded axles. Love burbs my dad had one when i was a kid and they are the best cross country drivers ever made. It is like driving your sofa down the street.

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
 

So far that is the highest priced used alt ever made. Maybe the most famous also.

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.

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.
