    2500 burb, to do a 4x4 swap or not?

    2500 burb, to do a 4x4 swap or not?

    '52 Suburban swamp to sweet!

    Have to wait and see on either boat, if I get the ok for either then I will have to look into cost, and go from there. The wagoneer is on tons, and currently has a 455 Pontiac sitting in it. But may get the 5.3 from my avalanche for better driveability and milage. Not sure yet. Btw...

    about a week later we did some more moving, and i gotta say i liked the room in the ford better but that 6.8 gasser in there sucks compared to the 8.1 part of the group we had for a memorial ride for my late nephew that passed away this spring on his bike. we had nearly 30 to start...
