sounds good...just pick up a T350 and a decent rear-end while you're at it :P....that 454 will be packing some torque with any luck

The real question is why not? You gotta replace your tranny/rear end anyhow. May as well do it once and put some good units in there that will take a BB. Make sure you know the cost factor of BB though. They are literally twice the price, which is why so many people run sb. But, having said that you will have enough power to scare your friends with :D .

Do NOT call me if you're replacing motor mounts. :shudder: That has to be the most miserable job I've ever done on my car.

454. fun fun fun! There is NOTHING like the rumble of a big block :D :cool:

If you can't go with the LS1 power up with the 454. I love the sound of the big block. Just rev her up and the compitition will run scared. :D

my dad is currenty talking to a shop in the states... right now its looking like a 454 with 495rwhp on base tune... complete crate motor with carb and waterpump.

u.s. to cdn it comes out to about $5300 free ground shipping anywhere in the US.... then i gotta figure out duty and if i can get around it.

but it sounds like a nice look job to start on.

im just filling out my plan on the car right now... figuring out what i want to do, and a budget plan

What's the price difference between a 454 and a 502 crate?

454's are commonplace........502 on the other hand........:drool:

a brand new 454 crate turn key motor is only 5300 cdn !??? U GOT TO BE SH*TTIN ME :shock:

09-10-2003, 02:00 PM
I bought a 502 crate motor with 515 ft lbs@3500 and 440 hp @5200 for $4600.00. This was back in the last century, 1996 I think, from Preston Chev. It only has a few hours on it seeing as I stuffed it in my boat and it hardly ever gets used.

The torque is really nice coming out of the hole. Too bad it won't fit in my 84 Camaro.

09-10-2003, 02:43 PM
ya but ur forgetting tax and duty :( ends up like 7000 bucks... then i wanna upgrade my cooling, and fuel.. some other stuff... its going to be alot

Anybody wanna buy an ls1 :yuck::p

panda it really depends on where u get it.. if u get it from a small shop that specializes in making motors.... it would probably be cheaper then buying something from say GM Performance.

09-10-2003, 09:47 PM
Yo Twitch, I have a buddy that might be interested in your LS1. You selling the NOS with it too. I'm interested in the new C6 when it comes out soon. Anyone wanna buy an 02 firehawk with 12,000 K's. I'm open to offers to $40,000. :cool:

ya that would be sweet.... but it will end up like this... the price of the engine.... shipping.... duty...... installation (including, fuel, cooling and front chas modding)

a 454 is a direct fit and will work with everything i have.... i saw those... but if its what im thinking it is... they will end up being like 200/300hp motors... if that.
