1979 Suburban Rest & Mod

[McMud]

Muddysub, i try to keep the swaybar and make also crossover steering, i bent the draglink and now it should work....hopefully haha
Wow that Burb is in awesome Condition you have so many pretty burbs there i would like to live in the states :-)

I just noticed that your tires look awfully familiar

I went with Mickey Thompson Baja Claw TTC for mine.

Baja Claws, I just love them! What brand are your tires?

 

[McMud]

Yes i Love them they are performing very well, Procomp XTC in 37" :-)

Maybe one of you can help me with my swap questions, i want to connect the original mechanical gauges to the LQ4, so can i use the the sensors from the old 350 with an adapter on the LQ4 or do the PCM need the signals from Oil pressure and coolant temp?
So maybe there are some other positions that i can use for these 2 sensors?
For Oil Pressure can i use the block off plate above the oil filter? (Tap a 1/8 NPT Thread in it?)
And for coolant temp find some position on the cylinder head?

Very cool man! I'd love to do a full body off restoration someday, you're doing it right that's for sure! I bet that was a good feeling getting it running.

cool.. your the only other person I've ever seen with the Deathproof duck...

 

[muddysub]

Man your suburban is looking good! I like that front bumper, who made it?

 

[McMud]

Hahaha the Rubber Duck is a cool hood ornament but this idiots here will steal it, the last one was welded to the socket and they get it off
The Bumper is is a self construction, but if you have Inventor i have the construction drawings if you want them!?
