some H/D trucks came with 454's but dont be fooled by the 366 big blocks that came in a lot of H/D trucks. Getting an older 454 is getting to be damn near impossible these days

took me forever to find my motor, the 1st time i bought a 454 it ended up being a 366. almost went to small claims court to take it back b/c the seller thought it was a 454 too. Anyway i eventually found one but paid a pretty penny for it!

A guy here has a GenV bare block. You interested?

>X< · 08-14-2002, 07:42 PM

which years are the best? which years dont i want? how hard i it to puta carb on a throttle body electronic motor, what abot the tranny? how do i change a elec.tranny to a non computerized one? i think i found one but need t make sure i can work with it.

i'm not interested in the bare block, kinda want it t atleast have crank and pistons, shouldve said that i the title, but hanks anyway

454's aren't that hard to find in NW Iowa but freight would be a *****.
