Re: Going from 350 to 454
Sounds like that will make one mean puller. Good luck.

Re: Going from 350 to 454
Do you need different motor mounts for the 454?

Re: Going from 350 to 454
I hope you would also consider upgrading the brakes some while your at it. I see that the truck has non power brakes and probably the drum drum type although I didnt look for the dist block to see if there was one or not for the disc brakes, I know it will stop but it would be a lot safer if you had some good brakes and stuff on there plus it will make it a lot more fun to drive. I know there are a lot on here with big blocks and real strong small blocks with drum drum setups without power so don't flame me I just want to point out the safty aspect of the hobby It is not near as much fun if someone gets hurt or we lose a truck because of to much power to stop or steer type of thing. I'm just saying have fun make resonable power and be safe. It is the dad coming out in me I guess. Jim

Re: Going from 350 to 454
Looks good! Where did you get those tubular uper control arms? I thought they only made those for 1/2 tons. Do you know the Waren's? I work with Chris at Sears.

Re: Going from 350 to 454
:P Not exactly what I was getting at :P
Is the swap from the 350 to the 454 a direct swap? Or does it require one to obtain different motor mounts for the big block?

Re: Going from 350 to 454
The mounts are different for a big block. The steel parts and sometimes with cracked rubber clamshells usually sell for 100 or so a pair used. Then you have to get the clamshells new or revulcanized.
Clean c30, throw a bed on it and you're set.
