454 in a shortbed worth the effort or stay 350/I6 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

In my unofficial observations, I notice that most people on the site have either a 350(or other SBC) or I6 in their trucks.

Anyone out there install a 454 or other BBC engine? If so how do they like the preformance and handeling of the truck. I am looking at putting one of two engines in my SWB project truck. One is bone stock the other beefed up. I know gas mileage is going to stink. Not looking for a daily driver though.

Just wondering what others think about it/ have they done it?

Thanks,

thomas
