454 swap
I happened to run across a 454 at a really reasonable price, and I wanted to know if it would bolt up to the T-5 transmission. Thanks.

ok, is it possible to take the transmission and have it beefed up to some degree? I have a stage two clutch, but can buy the neccesary equipment. THanks

Yes it is possible to beef up the T5. I am not exactly sure on this, I just had a friend who ran a "liberty built t5" behind his 600hp pump gas 406. Im sure someone can ring in with stuff to do, I just know it is possible to do it for a reasonable price, and I doubt you will be pushing 600hp, but maybe

well, the 454 i am getting has a blower on it and was recently rebuilt, but i planned on rebuilding it anyways. None the less, I think i am just goning to put in the 383 stroker. Do you guys think my stock smog equipment and everything will work with it. I planned on putting some of the off road headers and putting them on it, but just tapping in my own o2 sensor fitting and the smog tubes. I am sorry if this was already posted, but when I looked I didn't see anything applying to it. Thanks.
