GMT400 Suburban Frame Off Build: Body Removal & Getting Ready for Frame Paint! (What To Remove)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The creator introduces the project, a 1993 Suburban undergoing a 632 Big Block engine swap and frame-off restoration. He mentions needing to get the body off the frame, remove running boards, and pull the engine back out (which was temporarily installed for mock-up). The initial mock-up revealed the engine is too close to the firewall, requiring new motor-side plates to move it forward 1.5 inches for header clearance.

Goal: Understand the project scope and initial challenges

Tools and materials

  • 1993 Suburban Chevrolet — The vehicle undergoing restoration
  • 632 Big Block Engine — Engine to be swapped into the Suburban; used for mock-up
  • New Motor-Side Plates — To adjust the engine's position for better clearance
