I just got a 79 Silverado Big 10 with a 454 and turbo 400 trans. 9800 miles
I can't seem to find any comparisons. Most have the 350. I've seen the big block in the c20-30
Camper specials. Can anyone shed some light??

I'm thinking that most likely had to be an ordered truck. Certainly rare options.
