Up to 598 cubic inches can be built using a passenger height deck aftermarket block. This is EXACTLY the same size as any 454. Easy to get 750hp+ on pump gas...try that with a 454!
Do some more research instead of believing shipping numbers.
Tell us more about this blue-sky pipe dream truck. To make a truck truly fast and competitive, you're going to need a wheelbarrow or two full of cash. It doesn't stop when you drop the engine in. Matter of fact, that's when the spending really starts to get out of hand.
How much power are you looking to make out of this 454? Streetable, 625hp or so is about it for a stock stroke. More than that requires solid roller valvetrain and all the expensive parts that go with it.
Yes, 454 is the baseline for all motors up to a certain C.i.
Its a gen6
Total weight of shipment was 800.
Im subtracting about 100 pounds because if the thick pallet it was on from the place in Virginia.
The drive train I've already assembled and sold my soul to obtain.
It'll be coming out of my k5 I mentioned.
502ci, aluminum heads, 290cc runner, hydraulic roller top end, forged bottom end, msd ign, holley super sniper efi, stage th400 from a 4x4 shop in florida built for 600hp (I'm gonna add a manual valve body, didn't pay for that at the time), I'll put in the k5 tank and sending unit, as well as presumably fuel lines to feed the efi 60 psi.
4 core radiator (502 runs at 208° with just rad)
Rear end will be a D60 or 14b, I'll remachine my own hubs to accept 5 lug wheels. Thinking a 3.73 gear for the rear end.
Either that, or throw a **** ton of cash at a well built 10 bolt with thicker shafts and a beefier carrier..
Would like true posi in the rear.
4 wheel disc, probably move up to a stouter booster than the stock 1/2 ton.
Would like to swap front coils as I mentioned.
Most all of these aforementioned parts I already have EXCEPT the rear end.
I come from a total 4x4 offroad/mud/trails background, I know NOTHING about racing, but I know how, and I have the equipment right the driveway to fab and machine, as well as weld whatever I may need.
Might I also add, a investment in a rear driveshaft that won't blow up would be necessary, but I have several rear shafts with 1350, and 1410 yokes on them, were build for big tire 4x4 apps.
Not looking to race competitively for cash, I feel like in some ways that's more costly than 4x4 **** . Just wanting to have fun on the street, maybe once in a while take it to the track for a pull
