Re: Jesses' 48 PU


Hello all, I need some advice, and honest opinions.
A friend of mine owns a small mechanic shop and plays around with hot rods; he saw my LS1 and made me an offer I couldnt refuse. Keep in mind I paid a meesly $500.00 dollars for the engine and trans. He gave me $1500.00 plus a LST engine. It has a mild cam, and runs,no need to overhaul. Here is my dilema. I bought a 454 from my brother in law, he had laying around in his property. I gave him $100.00 for it, obviously. I would want/need to rebuild it and who knows how much money i would spend. So here is where im undecided or need advice. I can go with the LST and be done with it, but if i decide to go with the 454, do i have enough room under the hood for it? Im concerned with header room, steering shaft..... Keep in mind i used a S10 clip....
Has anyone squeezed a 454 into a 48 truck? What are my challenges? Pics? Advice? So many questions and not enough knowledge.......HELP!!!!
