The gasoline suburban is coming together. The engine is in and the headers I got almost for free that fit a 2nd Gen camaro do appear to fit.
That old 454 has been punched out and stroked out to about 488 cubic inches, or 8L.
The cast iron 1980s smog heads have been recycled into boat anchors hopefully and replaced with GM performance parts aluminum heads saving around 100lb.
The compression ratio is 11:1
It has a dual exhausted no catalytic converters. Being a 1984 3/4 ton it does not require any.
I'm thinking install catalytic converters, lose the stock style mufflers.
I don't want it to smell "racey".
