69 Suburban 12 Diesel Swap Progress

[@RooneysSears01]

Oh man that looks killer Jeffery! Pretty slick setup, simple, functional and easily repairable, I'm getting excited! lol

[@katterascollection2296]

That's what I was aiming for easy to do for the average Joe. Thanks buddy

[@crankysports]

Dropping names and making waves! I like the air filter idea. I wish I didn't cut the center out of mine... I think I ruined mine...

[@Chooman69]

Would be awesome if you bought another lot of these, set them up for drop and run in a Sears Suburban and sell to us HH guys who are saving up to rebuild. Sign me up for first order! This is epic.

[@katterascollection2296]

I'll keep my eye out this was a good deal could have bought 7 but didn't wanna spend all my money on them at once

[@bamamowersgarage8937]

Awesome job on it keep us updated on IT

[@katterascollection2296]

Will do should be done with it this weekend hopefully. Probably last thing will be exhaust

[@bensvintagetractors7919]

Looks good. I’m trying to make it to plow day this year with my diesel wheelhorse and my diesel sears!

[@katterascollection2296]

That be pretty cool if you came down. Don't try just make it happen!!

[@harrisonrohm]

Nice filter. You can take the black thing off and then you have a place to bolt a flange on. Saw that on cars and cameras

[@katterascollection2296]

Thank you seems like it will work fine

[@Chooman69]

Dual exhaust out the back when you do mine please. Paint that like you only you can.

[@katterascollection2296]

I'd do a diesel swap for you. That be cool. And yes we will be painting engine as well.

[@71_sears97]

Looking good there! My only thought on the air cleaner is will it be enough or should you consider a prefilter in front possibly? At least with the kind of work I do with my tractors, I like have it in a housing or with a prefilter so the main filter won't clog up so easy with debris.

[@katterascollection2296]

Prefilter be nice but I think it will be perfectly fine. Cars don't run prefilters they just suck through a panel filter push mowers have this style filter too and no issues and they suck more dirt than this will up high

Did you end up using the factory size belt? And does it bolt up to factory Tecumseh bolt holes?And they make spacers for 1-1/8 to 1 inch . I got some off eBay. Think it came with over size keyway to but don't remember I just know I have one

[@katterascollection2296]

It takes a 83 inch belt and you have to drill your own holes. This has a straight shaft if your meaning spacers for the pulley. Id have to rewatch the video to know what spacers you mean. I didnt space engine up i did tgink of doing that for vibration but there is almost no hood clearance

[@gilwilliams9036]

@@katterascollection2296 thanks. And yes I was talking about a spacer sleeve that goes between pulley and the crank. I had to do it once from 1 inch shaft to 1-1/18 pulley
