My 1977 C65 dump truck has the 366 in it. I have read where people are happier with the 427 (both being tall decks if my memory serves me well). With that said, I have a 1982 motor-home with a 454 and low miles (45k). The motor-home has sat for a decade. It's pretty ugly, and doesn't offer much other than the Onan 6500 generator, fridge, and some other interior parts I can sell. I thought about demolishing it after pulling some of the parts and using that 454 in my dump truck. Would that be pointless? My 366 'diesels' after running for awhile when I shut it off which makes me think valves and carbon build up. I have to put it in gear for it to quit or pull the choke. Timing is dead on. Meanwhile, the 454 shuts off right away.
Thoughts?
