Hi, I live in Hampton Roads and purchased my 97 K2500 suburban a year a go. It has 248k on it and still runs ok. I have done some mods to help it tow better. I pull a travel trailer with a gwvr of 7500lbs. I definately want to upgrade the engine, so I will be searching this site to find all the info for a ls engine swap.

Welcome and good luck you will be very happy with you decision to do the swap I am sure. I think a mild 6.0 would be a great choice to help get that heavy Burban move that trailer a little easier.

X2 on the 6.0 swap, It is a major job but definately doable and worth it in the long run!!
