The c10 got sideboards & Christmas decorations for the town's Christmas parade at my grand daughters request. (Photos below) I was concerned about how well the 454 with a HO roller cam & M20 manual 4 speed would behave in the parade. Route was about 1 mile at walking speed with GD & three kids in the back tossing out candy canes & peppermints .
The 454 behaved perfectly. Just idled along at 700 rpm's with me feathering the clutch as needed. Temps stayed at 180. Couldn't be more pleased with the new Edelbrock 800 AVS 2 carb I installed when I finally got truck roadworthy.

This Gen V low compression, Peanut port 454 with The Gen VI HO crate motor roller cam, Wieand 8122N intake manifold, 800 AVS carb & Jegs small cap R2R distributor make an excellent street engine. Very well mannered at low speed & plenty of get up go when called upon. And still used 87 Oct gas .

Edit: Deleted photo of GD & kids .
