Re: Just bought a 454! Build Suggestions?

Nice part of small to big block is most everything will still bolt up the same, engine will sit a bit taller, trans will bolt right up but the 3,200 stall will stall a bit higher around 3,400-3,500 which is great in a 2wd not a 4wd, moving a lot more weight and now with the big block will have a huge difference in torque so drop down to a 2,500 which will stall @ 2,700 perfect for the weight of the truck plus with the torque difference will have quite a bottom end advantage, but poor diffs won't last long. will have to baby them till you can upgrade, they are called projects for a reason right..one step at a time.
