1984 & 1990 3/4T, 4X4 Suburbans
My wife and I are transplants from Fairbanks, Alaska. After 27 years in the icebox, we are starting to thaw out!
We have had our '84 Suburban 3/4T 4x4 since 1996 (when we hooked up) and drove it down the ALCAN. I transformed it from a 350 gas to a 6.2 right off the bat. Since driving down the ALCAN a couple years back, it has it's 3rd motor in it. Last year the engine broke the crank going up the I-5 corridor and had it towed to my son-in-law's place. Three days, a few beers, and his lower 6.5 married to the 6.2 heads are giving it a new lease on life.
I bought a rust-free 1990 3/4T 4x4 Suburban that has a blown 6.2 for a grand some weeks back. Am in the process of nailing down a turbo-version Optimizer if at all possible. I was fortunate in finding a person that has a serpentine setup for my future setup (big wish list item) and already bought a Fluiddampnr and Banks Turbo system for the future engine. Was glad to see someone posted how to read the date code on the Optimizer block and that drew me in here to become a member! I hope to learn a few more odds and ends about the Optimizer 6500 and learn from those you have this engine.
IS there a thread about this engine I haven't seen yet???? Thanks folks!
