Cripple Rooster,
Honestly I picked this project/engine and had already bought them before the R2.8 was announced, had it been around I may have chosen a different project. At the time there were very few “legal” engine swaps, and the fact that the Suburban was a factory diesel was a major deciding point for me at the time. If I decided to pursue a smaller diesel, I would be more inclined to put a R2.8 or similar in a 90’s 4Runner than to continue with the Suburban. But assuming my lifetime prediction is accurate 10 years is a long time from now, so who knows what will be available and what I will need at the time.
Everyone,
In other news, I got the steering linkage, idler, and tie rods dropped out the Suburban, having ordered replacements. Still need to pull the pitman off the steering gear and finish separating the other steering parts. That should take care of my steering slop.
