74 k20 454

Seems like there's more square body action on this forum than the square body forums.

I got it from my uncle last year, who bought it new in '74. He installed a 454 in the 80's, and it recently locked up after knocking forever. I'm contemplating an 8.1/NV4500 swap.

Nice trucks! An 8.1/NV4500 would be a great swap for sure!

Might do an Allison or ZF6 too. Depends on the donor vehicle.
