Re: 72 Suburban Build
Only 17 layers? That had to suck, especially on your stomach!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
That may have been a tad exaggerated, but it sure felt like it. Not fun to heal

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Well I got it running last night. Unfortunately, for my neighbors, it was almost 11PM so I shut it down right away. Big block, noisy gear drive, and open headers for too long wouldn't have won me any friends. I won't be able to do anything today because I have duty (for those non-military types it means I'm stuck at work for 24 hours). It sure sounded good though!!!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Thanks! I have a phantom billet grill I was thinking about putting on it but the more I looked at it the more I liked the stock 4 headlight look so its staying.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
They actually like it. The guy across the street, his wife was wondering what the heck the noise was. He said, "Sounds like Dennis got the Suburban running!" and then proceeded to beeline over here. Im respectful though, I don't make noise when its dark, usually try to wait until 9am on Saturdays and 10am on Sundays. That doesn't mean the grinder/saw/drill/etc isn't going before/after those times with the garage closed though. I've had quite a few loud toys since I've been here. The worst (noise wise) was my boat. I had a Fountain with a blown 580in BBC (made 920hp on the dyno) in it with 4 inch race headers...and no mufflers. That one was LOUD, it sounded like a pro stock car on steroids.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Here is a couple of the boat and a couple of one of my previous projects. I put a 383/T5 in a Datsun 280z. That thing screamed!!!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Nice stuff Chief. I wouldn't mind the power-plant out of the Fountain for my Burb. Every time I see a blower belt, I think of "Lone Wolf McQuaid" hittin his "special" switch, when he was buried alive in his Ram Charger..... For you younger kids out there, it's one of the best Chuck Norris roles EVER.
But back to the Burb.... I agree. Keep the GMC grill set-up. I've often thought of converting to the GMC front. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Nice dash...I guess you won't need wipers due to the speed and profile of this burb

Re: 72 Suburban Build
What mufflers are those? I've been doing research for mine. I found the magnaflow round ones would fit. But those seem to be a bit smaller.
