Question for those with big block 4x4s... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hi All,

I have been reviewing the big block swap threads as I am considering putting my 1971 402 engine in my 67 K20 Suburban.

Right now the suburban has the stock 4 speed in it. The 402 engine has a turbo400 on it.

I do not know what tranny I want to use with the big block and was hoping that those who have already done the swap could tell me thier opinions.

I plan on using the suburban for towing a car trailer, a motorcycle trailer, and a camping trailer (not all at the same time), and for offroad use, I really only would be traveling dirt roads (fire roads and logging roads) during camping and flyfishing trips. I don't do the extreme 4x4 thing...

What do you guys have and what is your preference (auto or stick with a 4x4)?

thanks!!
