    SAS K2500 99 Suburban

    Got a bit more progress done today. Pass side is pretty much done. Have to drill out a couple of wholes on front bracket and put bolts through but its in there. Tomorrow (if it doesn't rain) will be knocking out the drivers side. Ended up using the plasma cutter to punch through the wholes...

    Yeah we tried but some of those areas are so tight just can't get in there with it. But thank you.

    SAS K2500 99 Suburban

    Ok so learned a few things on the Suburban. So having to relocate the rear air lines inbound from the frame rails so the rear spring bracket will have room. Which also means the exhaust has to be changed because the two pipes on the passenger side were in the way. So being the old school hot...

    Sal's K2500 Dana 60 Solid Axle Swap

    I am doing the SAS with the same ORD kit on my 99K2500 Suburban 7.4. When I cut off the mounts for the IFS and saw the indention where the frame has a step in and was wondering how that shock tower would work. What plate did you use? That looks really good!

    Very Nice! Hoping to get mine back together this coming week. Will keep posting pics as progress is made. Good luck on your conversion!

    The kit I am using is from Off Road Design. If you are using the stock leaf springs from 73-87 it works with your existing bolt holes for the brackets. You will have to drill a few holes with a 1/2" drill bit but other than that it is a bolt in set up. Very well built and heavy duty...

    SAS K2500 99 Suburban

    We used a cut off wheel for the pass side and after using about 15 wheels on it I went and bought a plasma cutter from Harbor Freight for $400 and it cut the time in half! Really worked surprisingly well. Next we will be bolting the brackets on and mounting the springs. Had to remove 2 of the...

    We made a bunch of progress on the SAS swap. Got the old IFS cut out and about to install the new brackets. Will add more photos as we get closer.

    No update or progress yet. Wife's Toyota broke so it jumped in front. Sigh. Oh and a bad case of food poisoning from Dominos. Figures.

    Fortunately I was not going very fast. Managed somehow for it to hold together to get back 1/2 mile to the house and then it fell apart at home. I was lucky!

    SAS K2500 99 Suburban

    Yeah I get that part. Never enough time. I also have a 93 K2500 long bed Silverado that I pulled the seized 6.5 and will probably cummins swap that one with a 5 speed.

    SAS K2500 99 Suburban

    No just an axle shaft and an upper ball joint. I figure if I am tearing into it I better do it right. Had hell dragging it back into the driveway with the drivers front wheel off. Fortunately the old Massey Ferguson 231 did its job. Barely! Sum bich is damn heavy!

    SAS K2500 99 Suburban

    Well I have had the parts from Off Road Design for about a year to do a High Pinion Dana 60 swap but just hadn't found the time to start the project......until now. My "key lift" stock suspension gave up the ghost on me today and now I am getting started. Murphys Law. So I figured I will...

    1999 Gen VI EFI to Q Jet 4L80E

    Been busy for a while but thought I would update on direction. So I have decided to make a big change on the suburban. I have pretty much resolved to find a complete and running Cummins 24Valve and NV5600 out of a dodge. I have swapped already in a 2002 GMC and its actually easier in the...

    1999 Gen VI EFI to Q Jet 4L80E

    Yes we have QT gas stations here that have 91 Unleaded that is 100% no ethanol. Pricey but it runs good on it. Don't know about my 10.75-1 400 though. I am sure that with a stock cam (the HO motor had a bit of a lope but not much) I am going to have to back the timing down a bit. I've run...

    Nice Vert! Looks like a Saleen! I remember those back in the day.

    1999 Gen VI EFI to Q Jet 4L80E

    It is pretty tight back there on a Pontiac 400 in a 68 GTO. The motor is broken free and turns over with the starter. It was seized and sat for 46 years (since 1977) but after 5 gallons of diesel fuel down the valve cover and sitting 24 hours it broke free! I have a bunch of rust on the cowl...

    1999 Gen VI EFI to Q Jet 4L80E

    So update. Got tied up with a lot of things but am getting closer to diving into the swap. Have been working on getting GTO to run but now have to pull that motor because distributor is seized in bore on the 400 motor. CRAP! So truck will have to wait a bit as I can't have another vehicle...

    1999 Gen VI EFI to Q Jet 4L80E

    I still have my 68 GTO 400 HO 4 speed and will DEFINITELY be using this book when I am going through it. I always loved the simplicity of a Q Jet and once you get them dialed in they STAY dialed in! I've ran Holley 750 DP and 850 DP on 455s and while they do the job quite well they do not...
