Krue:

I am not sure what shape your powerplant is in currently but I would find out ALOT about that motor before you decide to make the move. The reason I say this is the swap could get a little pricey and if the '54 your buying is basically a two bolt dog that isn't worth doing anything too then I am not sure your going to gain much.

I would hate to see someone end up buying a cheap BB and end up spending a little fortune on the swap parts only ending up with a few hundred horses and dismal torque. It would be really good to find out as mush as can about it before you go through the motions.

Didn't mean to play the deal down, just lookin out for ya!
