Got the BBC 454 fitted today.
I finally got around to putting in the 454 today, wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. Had to move all the engine and transfer/transmission mounts forward one inch. Of course drilling 36 holes is not a whole lot of fun, but it had to be done.
Also had to cut the firewall on the drivers side to clear the valve covers, just about a half an inch.
The engine I used for setting everything is still in need of an overhaul, Smokes like hell.
Think I'll run a set of Hooker shorty competition headers, looks like they will be the least trouble to plumb up.
Anyways here's some pics.
