    [updated:LAST EDITED ON Jul-21-03 AT 11:19 AM (CST)]I just found out that the cam in our trusty Suburban is bad.My Parents kinda Want to fix it but at a 1000 bucks they think it might be cheaper to put a new engine in it.(they wont let me do the work) I am trying to get them to sell it to me becuase my plans for that sub is to rebuild the engine whith a 383 stroker kit.so I dont think its a good idea to fix it now and then tear it apart as soon as I get some pocket change.thanks for leting me spout off.Karl :'(

    I talked to the mechanic and he said it wuold take 600 bucks to fix the cam and 2200 to put a new engine in it.if its the origianl engine and I am pretty sure it is it has 264.000 miles on it so its probaley ready for somthing to be done with the engine.dose any body know where other then a dealer to get a good 350 or 383 stroker for under $2000?.Karl
