1969 Suburban
1969 Suburban Swapping a fresh ls1 into 69 suburban. Fits like a glove. Using ls3 manifolds (they sure are pretty identical to the hooker blackhearts) they will get a black coat. The engine paint (ral 7042) will also go on the outside of the car (roof and pillars)
Slow progress. I made the original pedal work using a truck cable a few leftovers from a lokar set and a hose clamp. I filed a deeper slot in the lokar end to allow swiveling. A small slot to loop the cable back so a hose clamp retains the looped back cable. Works like a charm
Cool build! I always liked the older Suburbans.
The Hooker manifolds are actually quite different, but they do use the same outlet flange. Your manifolds kick out quite a bit at the exit and the outlet points down. The Holley manifolds tuck tightly to the block and the outlet points back and down at about a 45 degree angle. They also don't have the bosses for the head shields.
