Those old 454s are a beast. My step dad had an early 80s with no cat and I had a jetski that took 110 octane (low-lead) premixed fuel. Well, he ran that 2 stroke premixed 110 octane with lead and the thing just ran like nothing. Also, welcome to the west coast/desert. You'll find lots of old vehicles with no rust. My 05 Sierra and 05 Ram both have no rust while others on the east coast have rotted rockers, cab corners, bedsides, etc.

My family owned a '76 Blazer (basically the 2-door version of this beast). We may have just gotten a lemon, but it turned out to be the single worst auto purchase we ever made. Within a few months of buying it (new), the fuel pump went out, the underside started to rust out, the fuel gauge stopped working, the rear window crank mechanism broke... I could go on and on. To add insult to injury, it got about 10-12 mpg combined city/highway. By the time the car was less than three years old, it seemed like at least 2/3 of the engine had been replaced. I ended up selling the car for next to nothing and was just happy to be rid of it. That said, I did love the way the engine roared... when I could actually get the thing started.

I really appreciate you sharing all the trade secrets that you’ve learned. Back in the day, no senior mechanic would share his tips and tricks with any young guy in fear that young guy, being me, might take his job one day….at least that has been my experiences being 53yrs old….I’m definitely old school. Things have definitely changed over the generations. Thanks again👍 And my thoughts and and prayers are with you, Jen and the little man Gus. I love the fur baby 😄….A gift from God❤️😊

Wow, it's amazing to see you taking on the challenge of restoring and fixing a classic car like the 1973 Chevy Suburban 454! It takes a lot of dedication, patience, and skill to bring an older vehicle back to life, and you should be proud of yourselves for taking on such a rewarding project. As you work on restoring and fixing your Suburban, remember that every step you take is bringing you closer to your goal of a fully functional and beautiful vehicle. There may be times when the work feels overwhelming or frustrating, but keep pushing through and don't give up! You'll learn so much along the way and develop valuable skills that you can apply to future projects. And when you finally get to drive your Suburban down the road, feeling the power of the engine and the wind in your hair, you'll know that all of your hard work was worth it. Keep up the great work and enjoy the journey!

1973 was the first year for those generation Chev & GMC Suburbans, K5 Blazers, Jimmys, pickups, & medium dutys. 1991 was the last year for them except for the regular cab pickups & medium dutys which were discontinued before that year. The half ton & three quarter ton regular cab pickups were the first to go in 1987, & the one ton regular cab pickups were next in line to go in 1989. It was either 1989 or 1990 when the medium dutys were discontinued.

My Dad had a 1976 Suburban with 454, Holley carb and an aftermarket cam put in it. We traveled all through the West Coast on vacations every few years pulling a large (about 20 foot) Aljo travel trailer. That monster would pull the trailer up hills going 75 MPH. That is a very worthy vehicle of rebuilding to it's glory you have there. I never got the chance to drive it as I wasn't old enough. I did drive the 1970 Mercedes 300SEL 6.3 at 150MPH many times.

Wow! Your aptitude to get this beauty running is relentless, I would’ve given up as soon as realizing the timing chain was broken. 😂 good work man. Watched the entire thing super entertaining.

I agree with the rest of the crew. Great content, you always make time for personal time. I am relentless when it comes to getting something running or a project finished. I won't stop till it's done. Having a woman like Jen is so awesome for you, not only to support you in your venture, but takes interest, and puts up with the craziness. As a fellow gear head always trying to see the potential in even the most hopeless of vehicles, many women have bailed on me, because I spent too much time doing what I love, and not enough laying in bed watching movies, or whatever they thought we should be doing. It's a thin line, and can sometimes be a deal breaker if the woman you love has no interest in being in the garage with you. The sad part of it all is when you finally have the freedom to spend late nights in the garage to make junk work again, it's not as fun when you're alone doing it. Guess long story short, and I reckon most would agree, you two are lucky to have each other. We love ya, and always enjoy the adventures

Don't worry brother, just keep your head up and you'll find the right one at some point. For me, it seems more like a modern-day issue especially when it comes to finding the right one. Personally, it has become so bad that I prefer to go solo and just let life happen regardless. So, social media can be both good and bad for society. Good as in more access to educational content like this fine channel and bad for... well... letting social media mess up society in many other aspects of life. It's a win-some, loose-some deal.

Sweet ride. 73 Suburban with a 454. Growing up our dad had a 74 C30 utility truck with the same exact motor. Love these old chevys. 😊

Watched the video with pleasure. Until recently, I did not believe that this old Suburban would go. You guys are really great! And Jane, besides being beautiful, also keeps her in a good mood! Best regards from Russia.

Loved this! My dad had a ´73 when I was getting old enough to really get into cars and engines, it was one of the first cars I ever drove when being about 10 years old. (not in traffic, of couse) I have fond memories of crawling around that engine bay. Too bad you ran into some obstacles with this one! But I'm positive you'll sort it out. Thanks for uploading!

Chris, Jenn and Gus: I like the Suburban, though it's a bit rough here and there. The timing chain and stuck lifters would have stopped many pretenders out there. Definitely looking forward to part #2 :)

Very interesting to see the difference between a "dry state" revival and a "snow state" revival... trading off rust and corrosion for crunchy plastic and perished rubber. Wonder if there is a place where you can avoid both headaches? Of course, Gus steals the show! Looking forward to part 2 of this adventure!
