Getting ready to have a little fun with a Diesel swap.
Yesterday, Kevin and I ran to pick up an 83 Burb with a Diesel in it. It's stripped except for the dash, mojave heater, front axle, tranny, T-case and pretty much everything under the hood except the power steering pump.
I start pulling the above pieces out on Tuesday morning after I drop the kiddos off at the CDC. Once everything's out except for the engine, tranny, t-case, and axle, it will go to a shop in FBNX where the engine will be removed with a forklift. After that we'll remove the rest of the drivetrain and dump the body. Unless someone wants a Burb frame for a buggy. Then the process of putting all the parts in the 85 begin.
I cannot wait, I've been wanting a diesel for quite some time and a Diesel burb should make for a real good DD/tow rig.
