What other accessories can you go electric with? I know you are rocking an electric water pump, fuel pump, fans, air compressors, etc. Electric power steering would be awesome if you could get it to work reliably...it would really, really suck to have to park that tank with the gear ratios supplied with the stock gear box. If you get that far you might as well ditch the alternator and go completely beltless.
I just called a guy from Craigslist about a mint '89 Suburban (gasser unfortunately). I doubt he'll come down far enough for me to bite, but we will see how it goes. Incidentally, any tips besides crossing your fingers on identifying a good 6.2 block while it is installed? Besides looking to see if it's been aftermarket turbo'd, looking for one of those mythical "high nickel" early years, etc? Seems to be a lot of people dumping older diesels lately at ridiculously low prices...but I hate to grab a doner vehicle with a junk block.
