New here from Australia Hi All,
I just found this forum whilst looking for info about rebuilding the motor in my 97 'Holden' Suburban.
Can anyone tell me what category that motor falls under? Ie, LS-1, LS-2 etc.
It's a 5.7L Vortec.
Thank's
Howard

You guys are very lucky to get all the new LS1/LS2 Holden toys GM gives you. I'd kill to have a Ute SS or HSV Avalanche.
I also saw a few Holden Suburbans when I was in Sydney last year, very cool.

Gday; The motor in your suburban is known as an L31 motor. To find good information on rebuilding that motor look on ebay for the repair manuals on CD, I always use "techline" as the search to find GM stuff. Have a bunch of repair manuals, GM course manuals, new model updates etc thanks to ebay.
You could rebuild the motor or simply replace it, factory long block is USD$2250 (part number 12530282 ), theirs a shop in Sydney called Suburban imports who are selling performance rebuilt Vortec 350s (L31) for round the AU$3850 area.
