New Motor
Got my new BBC in Its way torqier than my 383 stroker was.
Its a 454 with large oval port heads. std bore, forged crank rods and pistons. 590 lift cam. air gap intake. 780 holley, roller rockers...etc... Heres some pics. None with the carb on but i will take more. I just got it running today so ill let you all know how the tuning goes. Thanks for letting me "brag".....

Re: New Motor
Looks great so far. I had a mild 454 in mine at one time and it was a torque monster for sure,and getting it to hook in a pickup with stock rear suspension was a chore in itself.
