Re: 454 implant
It's important to have a new 4 core radiator to keep things sweet.

Re: 454 implant
What transmisson are you going to use?
I am running a three core radiator with a manual transmission, but with a automatic a 4 core would be better as posted above.

Re: 454 implant
Make sure u have actual bb motor mounts. I bought new perches and used small block mounts because we couldn't find any bb mounts. Big Blocks run hot, go ahead and upgrade the cooling system now!!! Install roller rocker arms. Upgrade your mufflers, big blocks r loud (very loud). I guess that depends on your neighbors, lol. Make sure your tranny can handle the new torque or install one that can. Use a short water pump and pulleys if u can, much better with space available. Big block radiator shroud.
Hell, go ahead and spend about 20 grand, lol. Front coil springs need to be changed also. |
