Well at least it is complete. Motor Homes and Suburbans or Dually's are a good source for 454's.

thats good that it will come with all of the pulleys etc.etc... hopefully there's a decent set of heads on there and you're good to go! probably fairly low mileage too... what are your plans for the motor?

I'll take it apart- go through it, see what i have. Build a nice street/strip motor - like 400 horse power.Nothing to radical, a nice driver. Air gap intake, sheet metal valve covers, msd etc. this week i'll take some pics for you guys, my buddy "Impala" Rob fired it up a couple of hours ago, says it runs good, but has a slight bottom end knock (no big deal going to rebuild anyway)
see ya later

I bought a lake front lot up in the Parry Sound area 5 years back an it came with an old Dodge Banner motor home that is grand fathered to the lot for use. It was a big surprice when I checked under the dog house. Not many people can say " I`ve got a 440 under the hood of my cottage"

Also a good way to source a W series 348 or 409 by finding a old school bus, firetruck or farm stake truck etc..

I posted 4 old GMC's for sale in Ontario with 454's, one is a 5 speed! $1500 and you get a truck with it!
