new work truck...out with the 6...in with the 454...pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Finally had time to finish up the 454 swap. Got the 6 out and the 454 in.
What a difference...I can actually go up a hill. Taking bets on how long the T350 holds up (or how soon the rear grenades)

.
Here are some before and after shots. I got the truck in February...factory M&M green with a 6 and PS,PB, and cold air. Now white.
Here ya go:

Intergrated head. One of Chevys "better"

ideas. Always screwing up, and cracking, and costly repairs.
