Re: New club member
That's a beautiful motor. That thing should scoot the truck on down the road pretty well! What are the specs?

Re: New club member
Thanks Dave.
It's a 30 over 454 block that's been completely gone through and trued.Bottom end was balanced and is using stock rods with flat top pistons.Heads are a set of rebuilt and ported 390s with a beefy set of springs and roller rockers. 280H cam Port matched Preformer rpm intake (carb hasn't been decided on yet). I really wish my project was ready to drop it in and drive!

Re: New club member
That motor looks like it will be happier nestled in some frame rails.

Re: New club member
I assume you have the Big Block mounts already? Should run as good as it looks.

Re: New club member
I love it! I have one also but it will be a year or two before she gets in my truck. I am building a 350 to last me until I go big block crazy...
