tore down a old complete 454 i had bought used, "it was running when i pulled it" was BS, has cracked water jackets. it was a 4bolt block too! well it had a factory steel crank so i will sell it since i wont be neededing it.

well, i went out and bought another complete 454, ran the numbers and had a 50/50 chance of a 4 bolt, pulled it apart very clean but its a 2 bolt.

bought a DART intake with a complete fogger set-up and bottle for a STEAL!!
i bought it for the fogger since in using a merlin intake.

so far i have...
std bore 454 2bolt block
merlin rect. port intake 4150 flange
merlin rect. port 345cc runner heads(manley valves etc.)
4150 quick fuel 1050 cfm carb
harlan sharp RR's
NOS fogger system

still need to order my Callies rotating assembly, and take the block to the machine shop. and get a cam ground. hope to make 600hp on all motor. theres still alot of small stuff that i need to buy like an fittings,push rods, hardware etc.
