First, let me introduce myself. Name's Jeff, just bought a 1976 454 Suburban, Silverado, dual air, 2WD, 90K original miles from the original owner. This thing is cherry. I've been looking for a nice older Chevy truck, blazer, or suburban off and on for several years, this is one of the best preserved trucks I've seen.
OK, on to the question. How do I know if I've got a tall-block truck engine? I am looking for a set of headers and Dynomax says theirs won't fit the tall block. I haven't scraped the oil off the stamp-pad to see which engine suffix I have, but will probably do that this evening while installing the new spark plug wires and changing the oil.
What headers do you guys recommend for a mild 454?
Any other Suburban guys on the list?
Thanks!!
Jeff
