Composing a Modest Wish List for a new 454 Project
I recently bought a 1962 Chevy C10 that already has a 454 installed.
I am not sure what age the engine is and other that a new intake manifiold and old carb there appears to be very few mods made. The carb must need to be rejetted because it is sputing and popping!
I am by no way a mechanic - I know just enough to get myself into trouble!
My question is this - I am starting my wish list of components needed to wake up the old engine without going into the poor house. So what would you guys suggest as a decent carb / intake combo for this engine. I am also looking for headers but there is not much space to long tubes.
I am not ready to start pulling major parts just yet and I hope to buy most my parts of Craigslist or Ebay - so this will be a very cheap mod.
Any suggestions?Thanks
