Can I then swap the V8 gasser into the Suburban and have two running vehicles at the end? (thus able to sell the Suburban and lowering my costs)
I'm obviously going to look more into the specific transmissions and such once I am ready to start buying and working on this project. Just trying to get some general info for now.

Redline on a 6.2 in 4000rpm, best to stick at 3600rpm or lower. Depending on what exactly you are dealing with you may want a higher rearend differential (which is likely already on the suburban) not because of the redline but because of the excess fuel consumption migrating above 2800rpms.
