Re: 454 swap

Are you set on the 454? you can get a 350 with a th350, be close (or above) your numbers and have an easier time getting parts, etc.

Do a search on big block swaps using the search bar at the top, lots of people have done them.

You will need a strong will, not going to be an easy task or fit. Good luck though.
