Re: 1971 4x4 Suburban Project - the 'Family Adventure Wagon'
A tour around my old man's place.....
The 1965 'parts hauling' truck. It has a rebuilt 292 with a clifford intake, 3x3 dual exhaust and header, and a 3 spd transmission. Its fun to drive! Note the repurposed old ladders as side racks. |

Re: 1971 4x4 Suburban Project - the 'Family Adventure Wagon'
Making progress....
Clutch is in, linkage hooked up, transmission is in. Thought I had a one piece rear main seal engine as it was replaced in the 90s, but turned out to be 2 piece, so had to return the new flywheel. Ordered a mount for a Dodge pickup with a NV4500 and it didn't line up at all to the mount on the trans. Ordered the Chevy one and same thing, so we are fabbing our own from some 2" square stock and the original crossmember mounts. |

I would have to double check but if I remember correctly I used a stock GM TH350 or TH400 transmission mount. LockDoc

Re: 1971 4x4 Suburban Project - the 'Family Adventure Wagon'
Transmission and transfer case fully mounted.
Had to really mangle the exhaust to get it to fit. Once I get it driving I'll have to get that sorted. |

Re: 1971 4x4 Suburban Project - the 'Family Adventure Wagon'
The trans had a boss on the side that we drilled and tapped to mount the transfer case linkage. Worked out well.
Also installed a pinion guard as I plan for this to actually go off road and I had the yoke off anyways to convert to 1410 u joint. |

Well RockAuto says it is under warranty, but are making me pay to ship it back. I hope there is no drama when I send back just the front portion and they realize its been trimmed.
