    Replace old pump or keep it?

    Howdy all! In the midst of my suburban refresh the only accessory left that I haven’t replaced is the Saginaw style steering pump. I see that a lot of these new ones with the integrated reservoir have crap reviews. Should I just keep this one with the big remote reservoir?

    454 peanut head cam change fun.

    Thank you. Here is a pic of the heads. Can you tell me if all these springs have rotators (the mini cage)?

    Also it looks like I have oval port heads and not peanut port due to the casting number. 14081045

    454 peanut head cam change fun.

    Howdy all! After much deliberation, I think I’ve chosen to go with a Howard’s roller cam set for my 85 454. Howard’s recommends some springs so I’ll get those and then get the pushrods that fit. I would like to use factory rockers if possible. Thoughts? One note on summit is that someone...

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    I wonder if this setup would be better than the lunati? https://www.ebay.com/itm/351520210686?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=imvHdYYTTW-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=fIuQPn2LQ72&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    Thanks. I’m not worried about new push rods, I’m just curious if this is pushing the limits of causing valve damage. Lunati edelbrock told me it would work… ‍♂️

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    Thank you. I’m afraid of flat tappets because of so called quality issues. My buddy says go roller but they are more pricey.

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    Howdy all! I’m building an 85 suburban and it has a 454 with about 90k miles. We are pulling the engine tomorrow and are going to do a complete reseal. I would like to add a cam to give it more power but am not sure what to go with. It will be a daily driver, th400 trans, b&m torque converter...

    C20 suburban lowering issues

    I’m running kyb gas adjust too on the front. Maybe they are too stiff?

    C20 suburban lowering issues

    Made a big decision today. We are going to pull the motor, reseal it, add Holley sniper and new intake, and a 1900-2200 stall converter.

    C20 suburban lowering issues

    The measurements have the front lower than the rear by 1/8 inch but the fender openings are bigger resulting in a bit of an optical illusion. Wonder if these coils will settle at all?

    C20 suburban lowering issues

    Howdy all, I’m having some trouble with lowering a c20 85 suburban. Currently I have a 1 inch drop shackle on the back and have tried 2 different spring combinations for a 1 and 2 inch drop coil for the front from performance online. Unfortunately I’m getting huge variance on drop (see the pics...

    85 suburban 454 exhaust setup

    Howdy all, Headers, 2.5 exhaust, h pipe, and Flowmaster 50’s get installed this week. Should I dump these pipes after the muffler? Being that the 50 series delta flow is quiet, curious if it might be a good combo for dumping. Thanks!

    Lowering coils and ball joint replacement

    Howdy all, 2” lowering coils are going in my c20 suburban in a few days. These ball joints are original. Should I just replace both upper and lower control arms with moog or keep the factory joints? One guy is telling me the old stuff on this truck is better than any new parts but a 39 year...
