    New from Texas

     



    I just worked a deal on a 454ci engine/transmission and have alot of questions about it.
    It was in a motor home and I would like to find out as much about it as I can. Horsepower, torque, etc.
    It only has 49,000 miles on it so I thought I would clean it up a bit and maybe put it in my '80 Z28.
    I have to admit I am coming into this like a blind virgin when it comes to big blocks but I have been building motorcycles for the last 40 years so hopefully I will be a quick study. If not bare with me.

    Welcome, 49! We need more West Texas people at CHR.

    I have never owned a big block Chevy so anything I might say about them should be ignored, but there are guys here who can offer you plenty of expert advice.

    I'd suggest that you read everything a guy named Pat McCarthy posts. He knows BBC's better than anybody.

    Good luck with your project!

    Welcome to the best hot rod forum on the web. That BBC should be a fun project. I'm sure Pat will be chiming in soon, as he is the resident BB guru!
