Look what we got :)!!!
We went to Apache Junction last night and picked up a 454 for my nephew Taylor's Chevelle...complete from carb to pan
It's a 3999289 block with a casting date of F1173. The heads are 353049's with a casting date of D1773... The block has a stamp of 0702TRK (I think) that decodes to a 1973 240 HP engine that was in a chevy truck (in this case a 4x4) and was mated to a Turbo 400... From what the guys on Team Chevelle said...this is a great foundation for a good 454. Low compression that will run on pump gas...great heads...and a high nickel block (whatever that means...LOL) This engine is totally complete...and had compression in the cylinders of 135-140 across all eight. This should be fun...here are a few pics   Taylor helping out!
