Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
A couple of the frame reinforcing tubes were just touching the bottom of the body, so we made a bit of room for them.

We're about done with tube work and started playing with bottle mounts/position.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Engine was fired and broken in on the dyno/stand today, we quickly learned that we're going to need more carb...got a couple Holley 750s coming in.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Got the carbs/linkage on and made a couple dyno runs...hit 780 HP @ 6K w/6 lbs boost. Torque was over 800 by 4.5K.
We could get a bit more out of it playing with pulleys...more boost=more power, but where we're at is a nice, safe, streetable combo on pump gas. We should be able to hammer on this day in and day out and not worry about a thing!

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
I just found this thread/ build. I haven't read thru the entire thread yet. But I see it has gone through a major transformation from the first page. I am in the process of purchasing a nice original Burb myself. I must ask. what are your plans for a few of the original trim items that you removed from her. I need a pair of original outside door mirrors, and a nice set of the custom hubcaps. I will be setting down to go through your build thread this weekend. Just thought I'd ask. That's a fantastic find, and absolutely admire it's original color. Congrats

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
We brought the motor home today!
 Now we can start moving forward with all the little things that need attention...first step was pulling the body back off the chassis and dropping the motor into place.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
We elected to go with an electric water pump...which introduced some fitment challenges with the alternator and PS pump.
I made some brackets to drop the alternator down low on the pass side...made sense with the flare on the frame! Still working on the PS pump...

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
The switch to the larger carbs dictated that we increase fuel flow from tank to engine, so pulled out the 3/8" hard line and ran a 10 AN feed with 8 AN return...also dropped a large fuel filter inline.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Driveshaft got rebuilt with stronger non-greasable joints, re-balanced, and a fresh coat of paint!

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
We completely scraped/cleaned the underside (that was a PITA) and brushed on a heavy coat of black implement paint.

The non-greasable joints are solid which makes them stronger than ones that are drilled and tapped for zerts/greasing.
