thanx for liking my vehicle choices, as for the crown Victoria i got cause the motor is the same as a mustang , along with being a full size sedan with decent fuel mileage, reliable and not get pulled over by law enforcement Thanx to to these Vehicles still being used as patrol vehicles(the...

Thanx . it gets me where I got to go. I wonder instead of dumping funds into the motor and/transmission, first iIhave to get a 2 inch lift to have some grounds clearance especially with the rough streets and some flooding that happens once a while here New Orleans. Then the paint such as...

like you said before about having a smaller vehicle . I got a 1999 Crown Victoria LX. not "small" but decent fuel mileage with its reliable 4.6 V8. it things get heavy out comes the suburban

Nice Humvee too. I rather those than the H2 amd H3 Hummers that aren't Hummers

I might get a donor vehicle to come to think of it, that is wrecked like a Chevy van that may have a 8.1 amd 480l transmission . that may make it somewhat simpler to transfer and be less expensive than getting the whole engine and transmission itself. unless im lucky to find the engine and...

I might do like u said and get the 8.1 because you dont know when you need the power. plus I'm not hard on the throttle like a maniac, iIgo the speed limit which is mostly 35 mph off the interstate here in New Orleans. The one thing that intimidate me is when or if I put in in a 8.1 or 6.0...

And take the cash from the sell of the 454 and transmission and put it towards a 8.1 or 6.0 with a 4L80e

Huh?

why not a 5.3 with a 4L80e

Not bad for a 6.0 and 4L80e. im just afraid of the wiring and all to put all that in the vehicle

It gets me where I got to go. Some of the paint is falling off which I may have it repainted green military color with black rims

not really sure but when you step on the throttle lightly it gets into third(last) gear before 25 or 30 mph

Got a 1983 Suburban C20 Dually Converted with a 454 Carbureted and Turbo400 transmission. The 454 already has installed longtube headers and need a valve lifter adjustment due to "tapping" noise. Here's a list which I ask that may it help the 454 gain a few mpg if not alot; Vortec Heads, high...

TBI may not be that advance from the carburetor but their still simple to work on along with simple start up than the "choking" or "dieseling" carburetor

4 intakes hole fuel injection system to replace the carburetor?
