1990 454ss original to supercharged wild truck
Bought this chevy about 12 years ago, brought it in from japan did all the steering/dash conversion to convert to right hand drive and got it roadworthy to australian conditions. Had 4/6 bellteck drop kit in it, ended up buying 18" lexani wheels for it , mechanically the factory bbc ran fine and the same with the rest of driveline.About 4-5 years ago ended up having small accident in it and shedded it up until about 6 months ago where i have started pulling it down. The motor and trans is out and being replaced with brand new supercharged454. The new engine was bought from the states as the dollar is so good over here, and it contains all the good gear. -4 bolt block, eagle steel crank,eagle h-beam rods,je blower pistons,patriot 345 freedom heads, big roller cam, blower shop 8-71,2x 750 d/p quick fuel carbys, and fabricated air cleaner box to sit on top to suit big+ugly injecter hat.All in all had the engine dynoed and made around 757hp @ 5900 and 703 ft pounds @ 4800rpm. The bed of the truck is off at a mates panel shop getting a sand blast and the bigger wheel tubs put in.
