New potential score
« on: January 04, 2009, 08:04:41 am »
1991 Suburban 2WD 3/4 Ton fully loaded. It has pretty much every single option the Silverado could have. It is a 350 TBI 4L80E not sure on the rear yet. So I'm thinking of yanking the trans for my 74. Not sure if I should just pop an extra TH400 back into it or gut the sucker. Will post pix soon.

I'm probably going to use it as a parts truck but for now I might just swap in the TH400 so I can have the 4L80E and still move around the burban

Another one bites the dust....If you strip it.   

Those 91's are right nice.  The last year of our style.  My 91 turned 199,000 yesterday.  That 350 still doesn't use a drop of oil. The 4l80e seems bulletproof. 

If you put the 4l80e in your  74, you gonna use the sub computer?

I'm definitely considering a swap over to a 4L80E in the distant future (where all my other plans reside).  The gear-spread, strength, and 25% OD make it a perfect performance trans.  As long as you have the torque (which I will eventually) I think longer first gears are better for acceleration.

I say strip it then junk the shell. Even with the price of scrap down to $80 a ton the shell will be worth a few bucks.

WOW! Nice score I see a fortune in good parts just from those pics. The frontend alone is going for a good price these days and the interior looks good. Ok you see what I've been looking for.
