Model year: 1983
Drive: 2WD
Engine: 454 V8
Series: 1 ton (30/35)
Body: Four-door cab
Plant: St Louis
Serial #: 527200
Has anyone made a similar swap into their truck? Will the BB fit into my truck without major modification? How much harder than a small block swap would this be?
Thanks,
Kyle

These are problems if you try to use after market parts, since few are available. Call Chevy Truck Parts in Denver: owner Rich Sisneros 719-250-5057 and ask about original mounts and manifolds. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 738 | Tim,
