    and i have givven valid reasons why im not going with those options, what do you want me to tell you? i want an engine that bolts in, ok??? im not going to do massive amounts of fab work to get a different, smaller engine to fit... not going to happen, ok? look at my first post, it wasn't asking what engine do you think should go into our tuck, does it? no. it asks a bunch of small questions about doing a specific swap.

    If you lived in Compton California you'd get some good money for how it sits. They would build it up how they wanted it. A big boat like that makes a nice cruiser and with hydraulics on it the thing would be sweet.

    we have 3500 in it and have gottan about 3500 dollars worth of fun out of it, it doesn't have a for sale sign on it, but for the right price... it will be some other persons car (or a ford fairlane, my father wants one big time...)

    yeah, its a cruiser most days, but its so fast it will pass anything other then the gas station...

    i like hydraulics way more then air bags, but it would have to be hydraulics that dont have tons of power where the wheels come off the ground.

    For 5000 grand you could build a beast of a 454 do a lil searching people have beenbuilding these things since the stone age. Lil head work, good cam and a forged & balanced rotating assembly along with intake and headers and you can reach your goal. Be breakin axles in no time!

    ok, finally a valid comment again... i will look into that later... oh yeah, i found that duramaxs arn't as expensive as i thought! about 4000 for one thats practiclly new. so i might look into that also, but i dont think thats happening.

    Agreed you get in a site based on LS motors and expect someone to tell you to run something other than a LS motor. might look into gmt400.com or fullsizechevy.com for your answers

    ill be the one getting the ram! j/k seriously hope you do too!

    The ''big deal out of the sentence'' is because i think its funny you said it was a good deal because it actually worth 9k, and then you were going to bring proof by showing some ads that someone else posted. but hey what do i know its probably a real ''cream puff'' or ''my loss is your gain'' kinda thing.

    dont think its worth 9000?

    ok, ours is even more clean than this, has 60,000 less miles, and has 4x4- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1995-...item2eb86e42b9

    ours is WAY more clean then this, has a bigger engine, less miles, and 4x4- http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1994-...item25683c44d0

    same with this one... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1994-...item27bf119e6c

    so yeah, our suburban isn't worth 9000??? i'll keep pulling up adds all day if you want...
