Burban needs a heart transplant

[bowtiefreak]

Yup, parked it today and uncovered my baby. Inspection is up tomorrow and it needs work, I know this. So I am waiting on a few things to come through, all goes well a new motor will be in by Halloween. So the purpose of my thread: what should I do for a motor? This will be a daily driver, road trip truck and so on for my family, not a toy so much. So opinions? Right now I have a basic BB tune and stock everything. When I do the motor a new muffler will be going on also and I need to get cracking on an intake. So let me here what everyone thinks and the first one to say a blown 572...GTFO unless you are going to hook me up.

You know everyones going to say 383... Sooo...
I'll be the first, LOL.

Drop in a 383!

502 if it will fit.

It is a suburban after all.

They can't be that bad for a DD can they?

I am going to do a crate motor. I run a 383 in the tahoe...it's not out of the question. I may have to paint teh burban to match the tahoe at this rate too.

Maybe the ramjet 502 is to pricey.

Now there is a good idea.

I have a PDF from another user where they did that to a '96 Tahoe. The did want you to buy some pricey conversion harness thou.
