What mods would it take to get the 454 bolted to the frame. And is there enough room in the engine bay to get the rat in? any opinions would be concidered!
thanks.

My daily driver is a 454 and I love it.

Even with 36" Swampers on it, it will roast the tires until gone if I let it. Power is more fun than I should be allowed to have.

Thanks for all the replys. Now i'm even more eager to get the big block in the truck now. Sounds like alot of fun. haha
As for selling the 292, as hard as they are to find in running order. I think I'm just gonna keep it laying around incase I want to go back orig. one of these days.

I have a th400 that is behind the 454 now. But I was thinking a 3 speed might be more fun! Let me know what you think!
Thanks!
