I have finally decided on the motor! After debating to just slap in my 350 (burn victim motor) or go modern and run a 5.3 or 6.0L I've decided to go old school 454! I'm seeing way to many ls conversions these days and i figured a old school short box big block would be cool! Ive been looking for all of the above motors for a little while now but nothing has really caught my eye until last week! A 1975 454/400 out of all things a 75 Chevelle! Owner says its got 80,xxx original miles ran great when pulled out car was sent to the shredder about 3 years ago etc etc....
It didn't really matter to me as it matched the patina look and was old school orange and was complete carb to pan! If it ran that would be a bonus since I'm going to go through it anyway. So i hopped in the truck drove 8hrs dropped it onto the trailer (nearly crushed my trailer) and drove the 8hrs back! Now that was a long day
