Been off the radar for a bit. Work is stupid busy and takes a lot of my time. It’s a good problem being in sales and the time equals reward!
Here’s a quick update on what I’ve done with the 454 blocks,
The marine one I sold because of all the junk in it. The guy I sold it to was going to put it back in a boat because he had one cracked from freezing
Found another one and bought it except it came out of a motor home. It’s a 5445 block from 89 and has 4 bolt mains, peanut port Heads
This I sent to Armstrong’s to get bored and decked to fit the wiesco pistons
Bought a set of 781 heads for it and they are getting 225/188 valves, springs and guides to match the cam
All still in progress
because I can’t leave well enough alone I found a 86 motor home and it was Free!!! After checking it had a 454 with a TH400 trans and all I had to do was haul it out of their front yard! Done! Got the motor and trans out turns out it had a 5445 block but 2 bolt mains
? 236 peanut port heads.
not sure what I’ll do with this one yet but I think the plan eventually is to take the 380W in the 66 and put it in the 62 Pontiac I bought from Don and the 454 current build in the 66. I also have a 51 5 window 3100 pick up I’m getting from a family member that the second 454 would be good in.
Update complete!
Whad I miss?
