im looking for baisicly any complete 454 motor, it doesn't need to have alternator, water pump, ect. but would be nice.hoping for one with about 9:1 compression and possably a recent rebuild.
if theres anyone in or around texas that has this please let me know.

 

I'm in South Carolina, but how much are you looking to put into one that isn't rebuilt?

Thanks

 

dont wanna spend more then 900 for one that isnt rebuilt

 

I have a 454 just finsihed rebuilding it. makes 650hp on desktop dyno. whould have too get 5k$ atleast for it

 

I have a 396 that should ahve 500-550 hp just got rebuilt i would like $2500. You said you wanted a 454 but a 396 is a better motor in my opion because it is internally balanced.

 

Just remember..... there no replacement for displacement

 

Yes, there is its called nitrous J/K

A 454 is a fine motor but i would much rather have an internally balanced motor because they usually last longer under extreme conditions. And everyone has a 454 not everyone has a 396 since they are considerably less common.

If you want my 396 i would be willing to meet about half way or i would consider splitting the shippping.

 

396 sounds great but i really want the big block, and id rather work on something more common
common = more troubleshooting
common = cheaper parts

 

The 396 is a BBC also, I've talked to my engine man about the 396/454 and he can build a 396 and a 454 for around the same price. This is a price that your average joe modder can afford too.

 

First smokerz28 is right a 396 is a big block and parts arent hard to find at all its just not as common because they didnt buuild them for many years but it shares a lot of parts with other big blocks (same idea as 302, 327, 350 in the small block variety) and thsi motor is already done so you wouldnt need any parts even has a 750 double pumper on her.

 

ok drop some specs on the 396 and ill consider it =D
about the manifolds would i be able to find some that would fit in a 3rd gen bird? because i know a guy that has put a 454 in an 89 camaro and it wasnt that hard to get some stock manifolds to fit only a small dent in the shock tower.

 

go 540 Stroked big block if you can afford it

 

540 would be one hell of a motor, even if i could afford it that would be a one way ticket to get myself killed =P

 

You can get a set of header for putting the 396 in a third gen for like 120 bucks out of summit and if you look around maybe cheaper. It has about 10.1 compresson, the heads had a port job done but i dont know how extensive, and a pretty good hydraulic lift cam. its a reallly nice street strip motor.

 

u mean there 380 from summit no way in hell are they 100$ new
