A suburban will never be subtle, it's the biggest friggin truck on the road. It would be sick done up for offroading though, but for a grand I'd be worried about the condition.

FYI, there is no "new" vortec 350. The 350 was stopped after 1997. If it is a new motor it will be an LSx based motor. 5.7L, 5.3L, 4.8L, 6.0L, 6.2L, 6.6L, 7.0L, 6.6L,6.8L.........but no "350" I wouldn't buy it if he doesnt know what the hell is even under the hood or he is bullshitting you.

^could be a crate engine from goodwrench

01mmmz28 · 14 Sep 2007, 07:01 am

^ could be a crate motor, but as far as I know if he says it's a 350, that is an LTx based motor not in the vortec series.

^^ damn, flat top knows his shit

robz95xj · 14 Sep 2007, 07:40 am

burbins are to friggin big, save your money and get somthin a lil smaller, like a full size blazer

Traction Issuez · 14 Sep 2007, 08:47 am

i had one with a 6.2 on 33's, good driver but the trans died, and as for the "vortec" 350........ these days everyone will call it a vortec 350, it's vortec this vortec that, or ls1 bla bla bla, everyone like to put labels on shit. but if i remember right gm has a few crate motors with vortec heads on there roster.

oh yeah here's one.

350 Crate Engine 330HP (Deluxe) HO with Iron Vortec Heads 12496968 - Crate Engine Depot

we dropped that into this.

01mmmz28 · 14 Sep 2007, 09:44 am

I agree w/ rob, that suburban is to big, a regular blazer or jeep or jeep cherokee is perfect IMO. Even a K-5 blazer is to big.

Traction, I know people "label" things wrongly these days, but if this guy does not know for sure what he has under the hood I wouldn't touch the damn thing. That's just like this old guy I was talking w/ a few weeks ago, he has a 1999 vette and he swore up and down that his car and my car had 2 different motors in them. His was a "vette engine" LS1 and mine was a camaro engine LS1, he also noted that the T/A had a slightly better LS1 than the camaro, but still not as good as his vette LS1. I tried to convince him it was the same, and actually mine was better because I had the LS6 intake from the factory and he said " they don't mix parts like that"......so I walked away from him and his "vette LS1" Another prime example of a ass talking old man, I can't wait till I catch that old dude on the hwy or at a light, I'll show him that my "camaro LS1" will bury his lil' ol' vette....LOL
