hmm, this seems to be a slow forum.:yesnod:

go with the the 7.4 vortec. its easy because it was used in the same year suburban. i dont know if you would need a new tranny or not though. I've heard of people on this forum having trouble with the 5.3 swap.

i'm thinking a 383 with a blackbear tune!

i was thinking a GM crate motor too, jsut not sure how involved any mods might be. to fit. i drive OTR so im only home 2 days every 2 weeks:nonod:

Hi all newby here I myself want to change the motor out with a different one I am going to build my own 383 internally balanced motor only because I didnt want to change tbi parts and others for the 7.4, plus the current motor has everything I'll need for the swap if money is an option then stick with crate sbc just because you have the parts off your old one, and then just have the chip reburnt for new application.

GM's crate 383 is the perfect bolt in replacement for our trucks. It only requires swapping the dual plane intake with the Vortec intake and EFI. It even has the correct heads.
