Re: Just bought a 454! Build Suggestions?

That is a really nice looking truck!! WOW!!! Your best bet for spending that kind of money might just be looking at a crate motor? Fully done, drop in and go! Machine work alone in our area would be almost a third of your budget. Just definitely compare before your in too deep.

Also, I know there will be guys that chime in and say different but I'd really be concerned with 600hp under my belt and those stock 1/2 ton diffs!

Either way enjoy your build, and again... Beautiful truck!!
