Gorilla Enterprises:
I own a 1985 GMC Sub/2WD and was wondering how I can make it into a nice truck.  Firstly, I was gonna get a new engine for it, say a GM 385 with an Edelbrock carb, intake, and KN filters.  I'm running glasspacks out the exhaust but it's not true dual.  Also, I'm gonna replace the front clip with an 89-91 clip as an upgrade.  As far as performance is concerned how could I take this truck to the next level and smoke the competition?

Kevin108:
How much competition do you really have to smoke out there in the fullsize 4 door SUV market?  Heh heh. 87 Silverado 4x4 Longbed Pickup

Gorilla Enterprises:
The matter of it is I want a powerful SUV that can smoke anything out there.  I need the guidance nessarry to bring this project to life.  I know of plenty of SUVs that have superchargers and the like.  I just need the advise as far as the engine work is concerned to bring at least 600ft/lbs of torque out of the engine.

Savage4x4:
First thing id do is get as much weight as you can off the thing. Ive never known one for its 0-60 times...
There is tons of stuff you do to an engine...
cams, pistons, exhaust, carb's. Depends on how much gas you want to use. Id have to say id loose it if i seen a suburban flying past a Cobra Mustang. hehehe.I just happened to find this link so guy who 'races' his ramcharger...

First of all in a suburban you have a lot of weight and if you are looking to build something powerful enough to move it like you want you best start out with a big block. ~Captain's Log~
