I worked as a Manager of an Auto Parts Store in the late 1970s - Chino Calif - I had a Customer who always did Engine Swaps, and he grew tired of putting 350s in S-10s - He wanted to show the kiddies what a REAL Swap was! Yuuuup, 454 in a S-10
I found a 454 for $500 about to send it out to be redone and taken out to a 502. plan to put twin turbos on it and put it in my 73 nova in a couple years. I'm currently installing a 408 now
Please tell me that the little roll bar in front of the rear window is not all you have to protect you in a rollover accident. Other than that it is one heck of a truck. Beautiful work of art, it really is.
350toocute I am all for American muscle but a lot of imports also have some serious muscle. I have seen many of big and small blocks beat by four and six bangers.
@@terrypresnell7874 tell that to guys running 4g63 2.0 litre engies with big old turbos making 1200 all day long while getting 22mpg... it's not 1969 anymore hahah
Lol. I had a back halved s-10 blazer with a 454 and every time someone asked what motor I had, I told them it was a hybrid. The WTF faces of the ppl that believed my was hilarious. That did get old tho, goin to get gas turned into a 2 hour trip. Should have just left the hood off.
How long was the build? I am thinking about doing something similar. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I have to do it on the cheaper side. Still worth doing.
Love the big block. Hate the fact that it's tubbed and has pizza cutters up front. Love to see it with coulovers & a 4 link out vack with some 88-90 Iroc wheels all the way around or even with some chevy steel rally wheels. Nice build though.
Grate sound and looks grate! I have a '89s10 that I am putting a 414big block w/ glide and a 4.11 or 4.30 gear. The bully jegs/ summit/autozone. How do I get intouch please?
Sounds grate guy. RU-vid the bully jegs/summit/autozone. My girlfriend and I are putting a BBC 414 tunnelram with 2 4s and a pg with a 1.76 and a gm corporate 4.11.
Tennie1123 I was curious what model they come off of. I have some from 73 or 74 One ton truck and some from 67 Chevelle SS and they are different from each other.
Hey to whom this may concern. Great '84 s10 with a 454 "How sweet it is". 700r4 or? and diff 7.5 or? Please check out my '89 (maniacal s10) 21 vids thanks and Happy Holidays to every 1! Mike.
