    Train wreck

    Train Wreck 2.0 that is joining hopefully needs less work. But still needs attention. It is a short wheel base 600 that was imported back around 2000 as in US only long wheel base 600 was offered.

    ‘91 Suburban A/C Cooling Help

    SD7H15 is better match for the size of the system. I believe 250cc oil for dual system it was. When I redid my system I flushed everything, replaced rear tx valve and filled fresh to be sure how much oil is in the system. Edit: Posted service guide here before...

    ‘91 Suburban A/C Cooling Help

    SD7H15 might be of benefit as well with better pumping capacity. And also install heater bypass valve vacuum operated.

    ‘91 Suburban A/C Cooling Help

    I found parallel flow condenser along with red orifice tube to be helpful. Also seal sides of rad and condenser so air is pulled through and not around. Additional insulation on accumulator and cold lines. Which sanden did you get?

    I had rotating assembly balanced with new flat top pistons and aftermarket heads angle milled to about 108cc. Vortec 96-99 bbc heads have 97 to 100cc chambers and give a bump in compression. On other motor I am planning to try finding domed pistons with similar to stock weight to reduce...

    454 build, which pistons to get to 9:1?

    8.1 Vortec VS 383 Stroker VS 6.0 Iron LS

    There are aftermarket mpfi intakes for a bbc that will run on 411 ecu if going away from l29 intake manifold. Or 8.1l with stock intake will work well for most uses.

    8.1 Vortec VS 383 Stroker VS 6.0 Iron LS

    Gen6 454 would be good to consider as well. Big block or 383 will have better low end torque than a stock 6.0 ls
