Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Thanks Phillip
![]() The show went well, my son got 1st runner up. Which means no "golden ticket" to SEMA, but he will have another chance for a ticket. The first and second runner ups from the 9 regional shows will be entered in an online fan vote for a tenth ticket to SEMA. Thanks!!

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
WOW! Just read thru the entire build! Its crazy I've never seen you guys around in this beauty. I have a 66 GMC Burb that I'm still in the early stages of building. I have a custom upholstery shop in Moore so most of my attention is inside! HAHA! Cant wait to run into you guys and see that Fantastic beast in person. Keep knocking it out of the park guys!!
p.s. - man I wish I could have gotten those seats from you. I need a 60% 2nd row! |

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Thanks GB, it'll be nice to have another burb running around here.
We pulled the tranny out and sent it to BTE to be gone through. We think that the TC was too loose...made a lot of heat! Nothing let go, but the fluid got really hot...better to be safe than sorry. So...about that heat! The engine flat out gets HOT...rad is too small and the current fans are insufficient. I've been talking to CBR about some custom made options and we will be hogging out the rad support to see just how much rad we can stuff in there! We'll also be going with one of their fan cooled tranny coolers...as big as we can fit. The rear coil springs from CPP on their HD coilover kit were way to soft at 350lb...brought in some Eibach 450lb coils...they're better, but we don't have any run time on them yet. This big engine shat is getting to be a PITA... ![]()

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Struggling a bit with the rear coil conversion kit from CPP...lower brackets are bending down. I pulled them, straightened them, and welded in some gussets...we'll see if this lasts or if they will need to be completely redone.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
We reached out to CBR for some cooling options on both tranny and engine, here's what I've got mounted so far...should help with keeping tranny cooler.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
We have the battery, rad overflow, and NOS auxiliary fuel system fit back in...pretty tight making everything work. We ended up removing a fair amount of inner fender, but it's all good.
