Clueless

[Airbag]

I have and big block that I am going to rebuild, but I have never done this before. Any ideas were I should start like, information to read or web sites to check out?

I told you I was clueless!

Its a '81 454. It will be a street rebuild, and I haven't come up with a budget, because I have no idea how much this stuff costs.

The guys who will be able to help you on here will need more info. What kind of big block (Ford /Chevy/etc)? Year? Intended usage (stock rebuild, street, drag)? Budget? and anything else you can give them. Also, what kind of car, trans, etc.

You may be thinking stock rebuild and they may be thinking drag car.


Your request is just to vague to give you any kind of answer.

Tell us about your car or truck it is going in
What is the rear gear?,Is it a manual or auto tranny?
I will guess that you want to run on pump gas?
You can buy stroker crank and build a 496 if you wanted to.
I could ask about 100 more questions but I will let you put a few of your ideas out there..

If your just doing a standard, nothing fancy rebuild, there is a book that covers big block rebuilds, i forgot who the publisher is, also depending on how bad the wear on the engine youll probably need some machine work
