Just joined. Glad to have a place I can go to and find some information. I have a 1987 V20 Suburban Silverado package. Had 51,200 miles on it when I got it last year. Perfect body and interior but had some other issues. Did an engine and trans swap. It has a 1st cummins and 47RH transmission now. Just put 33.9” K02s on it a few days ago.

Some of these pics are from before the conversion. Since these were taken I put good seat covers over the seats to protect the original interior.

Now if I can just figure out how to get the play out of the steering wheel, I'll have it made. LOL

Sweet Burb! I've always like cummins, just don't want to mess with diesel.

Thanks okiefishman, wish I could take the credit for the work, but I had to get someone to do it for me. Way outside of my lane. One guy did the entirety of the conversion. His name is Chad Stett. He’s right outside of Dallas in Wylie. He is an amazing fabricator. You should see All the cross members, brackets, and exhaust he fabricated. Other than the blue bilstein shocks, you’d think it came that way from the factory.
