Hi There!
Last 2/3 years Iam a happy owner (2nd owner in title) of bone stock Suburban k2500 L29.
I bough it in Fance from first owner Mike - car was imported as a new to France by his father.
Fully loaded LS/ K2500 /auto 4x4 / barn doors ... bangs and wisles and NO RUST! 140k miles.
Axles are 3.73 and G80 lock.
Just missing 2nd row capita seats... still dreaming.
Love it, spend last 2 years fixing small issues. I should present this ride here more.
I know that Mike as a quite active user of gmt400.com and wasin't till now.
Now it drives like a dream - keep in mind bone stock dream.
And Iam the type of men to give it now some Resto-mods.
It is my first Chevy ever and till now I have experiance with european classics:
Mercedes /BMW / Alfa Rome. US cars are for me exotic.
No Resto Mod to make it more daily - energetic - engine.
Look at the Sunday made napkin drawing:
Outnof my experiance L29 can't get more.with stock manifold - design long runners there are the bottle neckn for revs.
Also in find this design faulty due to possible fuel leaks (causing a fire) and water leaks to engine oil.
Coudln you ecomend me what part use for:
Variant 1:
1. Cam OEM
2. Inlet - maybe Holley EFI 4150 or 4500
3. Throttle body with tps and idle air valve
4. Cap to side inlet
5. Connnection to air duct
6. OEM mass air sensor to OEM filter box
7. ECU - 99% I need to go to 0411. Now OEM for 5 plugs so tunable balck box
8. Heads OEM
9. PERTRONIX Long Tube 1.75" - I have a set
Or
Variant 2
1. Cam OEM
2. Inlet - maybe Holley EFI 4150 or 4500
3. Adapter/distance type 4150 or 4500
4. Elbow 90/110 deg flange 4150/4500
5. Throttle GM style by cable / with TPS and idlenair valve
6. OEM mass air sensor to OEM filter box
7. ECU - 99% I need to go to 0411. Now OEM for 5 plugs so tunable black box
8. Heads OEM
9. PERTRONIX Long Tube 1.75" - I have a set
Gearbox will stay with OEM converter.
So Cam for now... stock ??
I will add rocker arms 1.7 ratio
Heads - Stock - no cam so stock.
Goal - more livelly engine that is less truck.
Iam not using it for towing.. and if it will be 4200 to 5000 pounds.
PS.
