I know, I know, it's not as exciting for everyone else.:rolleyes: But, I'm excited to finally have my Suburban back! These are pics that Ron Schoolcraft sent to me.

I'd get a DNA test it doesn't look anything like you!

That was good! I actually did "LOL"!

I think it's a girl...anybody in the Allentown area? I've got cigars!

It's an 18:1, splayed main caps, balanced crank, ARP studs, hi-pop "squirts" (as Robyn affectionately calls them;)), DSG gear drive, new torsional damper/flexplate. Lots of, what Ron refers to as, "race prep machining". I'm really happy with Ron Schoolcraft - he is an absolute gentleman. I haven't driven the truck, yet - it's currently being installed, but so far I am very satisfied.

Now, I'm looking forward to the summer (maybe next Spring) when I can get that new turbo - the one that was written up in the "turbo" article (the Schoolcraft Powertrain one). I think the way the engine is now it's going to be really nice. But once I get that new turbo and start pumping 20+ psi of EFFECIENT air through the engine, it should really rock!
