Re: 71 4x4 BBC Swap: Doing what I should have done the first time!

So I bought a 454 from the same buddy that had the Turbo 400. Ya'll better sit down for this one... $50!!! The number one piston spun a bearing, over than that it is complete from intake to oil pan. It doesn't have pullies, but for 50 bucks who cares! I'll be posting pics of it this weekend (hopefully) after i clean the garage and what not. I am going for a 50/50 match up with HP and TQ. Let me know what you all think. I am building a mud truck that is still used on the street. So i'm looking for the best combo to get most of it with out getting 2 MPG or less. More info to come.
