Does that burb have the 454 in it? Or are you just putting SS decals on? My father-in-law gave us a
F150 that has the police interceptor in it(motor they use in police cars) with dual flowmaster pipes and a super chip/

I used to drive a 1995 Suburban... LOVED that truck! Now it is retired except for large family outings... I'll see if I can find some pics to post.

My DH is trying to convert my Nova into an SS clone... LOL

That's a cool project TB.I have a '96 Caprice project that I'm slowly trying to convert to an Impala SS clone/hot street/strip/auto x car.If/when you start doing engine mods you should check out PCMforless.com .It's a company that reprograms the pcm for mods like gear/tire size changes,cam changes,bigger injectors,etc.Has your Dad had any transmission problems yet?My car has had the trans rebuilt twice and lots of fuel pump problems.I hope to completly rebuild the suspension along with lowering springs,aftermarket control arms,sway bars,etc this summer.

=]
but we did find out today it has a k&n filter in it.
and a damn big one too.
lol

Just out of curiosity, do you guys buy your aftermarjet parts online, through a catalog like (jegs, summit), or at an autoparts store?

I used to have an 86 Transam and an 84 Camaro.

trailblazer_02 · 05-07-2008, 01:03 AM

actually the filter and the exhaust was on it when we got it..
and the taillights,and the silver chevy emblem came from a little autoparts store and we got the newer 20's from a guy my dad knows..so no..no parts online..
srry.
