Super Dave sent me a performer for the BB! All cleaned up and sexy!

It gives me some motivation to get going on it, now that our field work is done I should have some time to play with it!Oh no Dave your paint is sweet! I should have said the block and heads.
The manifold is staying just the way it is!![]()
Found the oil cooler Dean...
Awesome!Found the oil cooler Dean...
More points is good!OK sweet, that is the same paint I have on the Maiden manifold right now, its held up well!
Looks real nice! I would never paint over your work. Our cat fluffy thinks the edlebrock box is the best thing to sleep ontop of!![]()
more points Dean!!!


yeah I think thats right Rene'...I always heard it as "Keep it simple, stupid"

Would a 1990 454 that came with fuel injection have a cam that would run a mechanical fuel pump?
I highly doubt it if the block isn't machined for one.
Get a helper, hold rod in block with finger and have helper rotate the crank and see if the rod follows the fuel pump lobe.Every thing is there for one...just removed the block off plate and stuck a SB fuel rod in the block.
Not sure about the cam??
