I have an 84' Chevy 3/4 that has a turbo 400 tranny and I'd like to get some input on what I should put in. I'd like to stay away from electronics and fuel injection as much as possible. Which setup will get me the best results for hauling and towing?

The 454 is going to pull harder and use more fuel. The more cubes the better...


1955 1st GMC Suburban | 1954 GMC 250 trailer puller project | 1954 GMC 250 Hydra-Matic | 1954 Chevy 3100 . 1947 Chevy COE | and more...
It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...

I'm going through the same thing with my 79 gmc. for the cost of rebuilding the 200k miles 350 I could find a good 454 and being a 20 year old I want MORE POWER! so the 454 is what I'm going for.

If your asking here the obvious answer is a good 292 or 302. We don't need no stinkin' V8's.

Thanks for the input. I guess I'll have to go shopping at the junkyard and see what I can find that I like.
