Re: 84 chevy stepside, 3/4 ton, 454, Silverado
Used to be my truck & engine, so I'll add some more details...
Truck - could be a really cool truck with a little body work. Has the nice black Silverado interior, power everything, tilt, etc. How many lifted, 3/4 ton, big blocked, Silverado stepside shortbeds do you see around?
Engine - this is a pretty fresh "grunt-monster" big block. Built for my Jeep, which is off road only, and ran for two summers, so it's got low, low miles, then sold it to go into this truck which hasn't really been driven since. 454 bored .030 to 460 CID. I built it for big low end torque. All new - hypereutectic pistons, Crane torque cam, lifters, valves springs & locks, valve job, BC Engineering cam oiler (fixes the big block's tendency to eat lifters), oil pump, timing gears and chain, pushrods, Clevite 77 bearings, head bolts, etc.
'73 block, '67 427 closed chamber, oval port heads (torque /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif ) with light port cleanup, factory iron hi-rise Q-Jet intake, crank turned .010, re-sized rods, factory 9 qt. oil pan, old style M/T aluminum valve covers.
That's all I can think of for now.... /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
