Just got this 1968 Suburban and wondering does decent LS swaps at a reasonable price?

There's a guy outside of Cleveland that kinda specializes on this Era of Chevy trucks. He has a couple that ate pristine and a K5 that is in process, and used to have a 3 door suburban 4x4. If you want info I can try and put you in touch.

I did my own LS swap into a '67 Camaro.
Bought a complete 5.3L and 4L60E out of a wrecked '06 Silverado w/110K miles. Used the FiTech 70002 stand alone system w/trans controller, Holley 302-2 oilpan.
Pulled the heads on the motor to do a visual inspect and fresh valve job...new valve springs to match the BTR cam.
New oil pump, timing set, and lifters. Ebay shorty stainless headers, replacement Camaro fuel tank w/Walbro 255 in-tank pump & Corvette regulator.
Super easy swap...
A truck would be easier yet...much more room.

Also doing a similar (but much more $$$) swap right now in a '56 Nomad....
That Chris Alston chassis alone is $22K

Shads might know someone he's pretty good with that kind of stuff.

That's friggin sweet! You got the rasied roof option.

Just picked this 1968 Suburban with ambulance package that’s been sitting for 11 years. It only has 47k miles, but the motor is a 307 v8 and has a powerglide trans. Don’t want to waste much money on this combo. Thinking about going with an LS and 4l60...

Bad ass, EMP proof it

Way cool project, looking forward to watching the progress

Damn skippy! 3 door burbs are so cool. I'd ditch the raised roof. LS fo sho.
