I wanted to check in with you to see how your 454 engine swap went. I have a 1954 Chevy 3805 1 ton that I want to install a 454 bb in. I have a few challenges I am coming across and wanted to ask if you could give some pointers.
Currently, I am having the engine bored 30 over and am going to rebuild the engine with new ... well, it be easier to tell you what isn't new actually. I'd like to know how well your install went. Maybe you can get into how you overcame the steering obstacle (particularly if you went with a power steering option), what you did for the suspension system, whether you had space problems due to the width of the engine, and how you may have overcame the exhaust manifold problem (interfering the the steering).
I will be pulling the body off the chassis this weekend. I am getting the engine back in July. If you can provide any kind of guidance, I would be most grateful.
Thank you.
