454 needed

[YASHA7FOLD]

Hay so the vehicle that I drive for my church's youth programs has a dead engine. I did a compression test and best cylinder read 70lbs. I put a new set of plugs in it and didn't even drive it 20 miles and all eight plugs were fouled out. I will now start to pull the old engine in preparation for a donor. So if anyone knows were I could find a inexpensive late 80's 454 that would help a ton. Thanks everyone.

Youch! That's gonna be a hard one to find. Do you want a rebuildable core, or a full used longblock? You may want to check with Johnsons A-1 because they have a ton of motors - they may have something that you can swap right in.

Move to the classifieds BTW because it's a WTB.

I might have one for you. I think one of my employees has a 454 they have been trying to sell. I have no info on it at all, call me tomorrow at 406-829-3830, as for Aeron, and I will get you with him, he is gone for the rest of today.

I think I found a motor. Its a 350 with 60k miles on it. Complete from carb to pan. I know it's not a big block but for $150 I don't think I can pass it up.

[Volksrod]

will it bolt up?

[YASHA7FOLD]

Ya that is one good thing about GM. All the blocks have the same bolt pattern. Only bad thing is that the guy with the 350 backed out. What a douce bag.

I think my guy may have sold his 454, I will check with him. I think he wanted $500.00

[YASHA7FOLD]

Let me know. I am not going to dig into it until spring. So my options are open.

[Rennwagen1]

-like I said before, you might want to talk to the guy, I have no idea what he has, or what you need. If you want, give my shop a call at 829-3830 and ask for Aeron or John. I think if he has not sold it already, he wants it gone.

Will do thanks
