This Suburban, being from one of the bodystyles that I like-the GMT400, and being the bodystyle that we buy in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood” has the only gasoline engine that I would buy in a Suburban of this vintage and in the preceding 1973-1991 bodystyle- the 454 Big Block V8.

Over my dead body would I ever purchase and drive a Suburban and a K5 Blazer/2-door Tahoe with the 350 Small Block V8.

I personally loathe the 350 V8, and I would also rather have a GM truck of this vintage with the 305 Small Block V8 and the 4.3 Liter V6-a 350 V8 with 2 cylinders removed to create a V6 engine.
