i didn't see those, but just got done reading them both with interest- albeit the reality that the LS swap is too much project for me right now. just gonna build a mild 383 for the TBI I think- should still get decent mileage and give that heavy suburban a little more low end. i think i'll try and find a good block, take my time and build it right with the parts that will work best for the TBI- then have it ready to swap whenever I decide too, or the current 350 let's go (hopefully that won't happen first!).
I noticed the new steering box- seems like a remember back in the early 90's reading mag articles about swapping a TA box in trucks to give a quicker steering response and better handling. not sure how much that would help a heavy suburban 4x4 with 32/11.50's though.....
