CUCV suburban?, or converted. PICS

He said the engine was original and was turbo charged until the turbo went out. and that the rear end has been changed to a 1 ton. A buddy of mine is going to go look at it this weekend and may buy it. I am going to get him to send me the VIN

Never seen a stock 350 with a turbo in a suburban.

Need more pics and a VIN to make a positive ID.

Maybe its a GN motor lol

The only turbo in that bodystyle Suburban was a Turbo 350 or Turbo 400 tranny... LOL

I'd love to see more pics and info on it though.

As stated its a clone it will not have cucv door tags

Somebody has their turbo 350s mixed up....engine, transmission.....what's the difference lol

 

[parlusk]

That is what i thought but didn't want to tell the guy but he said the turbo went out so he just put a block off plate on the manifold.

more pics and more to come

Well I passed on the suburban, with a m1009 project, m35a2 project and a newborn it was a wise decision on my part. My best friend ended up buying it. he also has a 09 project under works. Here is a pic of the door tag, he said the vins match. I will try to shoot a walk around video the next time we meet up. more to pics to come when he sends them to me.

It was born an 88 3/4 ton suburban 4x4 with a 350 gas engine. thanks. mark
The only engine with a turbo could be a 6.5 diesel from 92 up. when the turbo fails they smoke bad and lose power.

Clone. No Mxxx involved. Someone added the grill guard and bumpers.

 

[parlusk]

Yeah, but its still pretty cool. I cannot wait to take a better look at it. It is a govt suburban. He said it came from New Jersey and was used on an Air-Force base to tow planes. I guess that is why it has a 1 ton axle.

Many of us have built clones. I have a couple on the back burner.
