    Exclamation Help!!!

    I have a 1994 suburban K2500 4X4 with New a 383 stroker motor and a new tranny.

    What convertor do u suggest i use? i think i have a 32 but not sure.

    I was thinking of beefing up the front and rear gears but don't know much about it. HELP Please

    What do u think i should do?

    I also want to ask can i convert rear drums to Disc brakes? or is it worth it?

    Is there a big brake kit i can buy for my truck?

    I think you should keep the stock converter or buy one made for towing. A stroker engine makes its power at low RPMs.

    I have the same truck with a 454. I have looked for disc brake conversions for the rear and also big brake conversions for the front to no real avail. As soon as I find a decent swap Ill let you know.
