I built a custom Suburban for my parents after the 78 that my Dad bought started to rust apart many years ago. I ended up taking the body off and swapping on an 85 body onto the 78 frame. While we had it all apart I swapped in a new GM Goodwrench 350, 205 transfer case and 3/4 ton axles and...

Too many to list them all, but the dumbest injury was when I was a kid I made a cannon using a glass milk jug, dry ice , water and a cork. It was pretty tame till I tried to get more distance with a new cork. The glass jug blew up in my hands and sent a shard up my face putting a nasty gash up...

I'll look them up, thanks

The latest on this heep. I fixed all the electrical issues and was then going to start on the death wobble and steering issues. However that is all on hold, my grandson called last night with a dead transmission. I told his dad to take it to his house but instead a wrecker showed up and dropped...

The heads we found have the same 64 and 170 cc volumes. They are supposed to be stronger and less prone to cracking.

Now if my son could just find one of those in the junk yard.

As I stated above I know the advantages of the LS but I want to keep my brother's motor as part of the tribute. This motor is already a TBI swapped motor.

The heads we picked up are Engine Quest EB_CH350C heads with 170cc intake runners and a 64 cc combustion chambers. The intake is a GM Performance 12486572 TBI intake.

I understand the LS advantages since I just did that swap on my Scrambler. However that led to a front axle swap, tranny swap and the eventual atlas swap. The swap also included a lot of other parts to make it all work. This old Commando was built as a tribute to my late brother using as many...

Congrats !, grandkids are great

I'll be doing more research and part number look up before ordering any parts.

My family Commando project was built around parts that I took from my late brother's old 78 Blazer. The motor that was in it was a very low mileage 350 GM Goodwrench crate motor. I wanted to get rid of the carb so I put on a TBI system from an 89 Suburban. It runs fine but it could use a bit...

Dutch, but since I have little to no practice its rusty.

We used to have a bird dog that was half springer half brittany. It was the only dog my granddaughter wasn't allergic to. My daughter and her husband tried getting her around lots of different dogs including the hypo-allergenic types and she would still break out. My wife noticed someone selling...

I spent most of the day removing the electrical demons from my grandson's Jeep. The battery kept on discharging and I knew that the battery harness needed to be replaced. Some previous owner must have thought the factory wires were too wimpy to charge the battery so they replaced the factory...

Did some more checking, all the steering joints are bad, front shocks are shot, non standard battery cables, leaky radiator cap, aftermarket air cleaner that isn't tied down, wires touching the exhaust, hole in the muffler, cheesy paint job where they didn't mask anything but the glass, tires...

I'll tell my daughter

My ex son in law drained my grandson's savings account to buy a Jeep that they thought was a good deal. They did it over my daughter's and my objections. Of course it has issues and they want me to help fix everything. It failed emissions testing because someone took out the check engine light...
