Its a 454 and a 400 turbo that I pulled out of a 90 class C rv that has 35k on it.
So stock but the intake carb and headers.
Cars a 70 SS Nova.

And Thanks.

AWSOME combination man.

Post up some videos if you want. We would all appreciate it if you have the time sir.

You doing a truck next?

My old boss is putting 383 stroker in a willys pickup with a lift and 33” mud tires. Super cool truck.

I believe you are correct.

BUT I was joking about it having a RV cam because it came out of a RV . :) I would bet its the same cam that went in all the 454s in 1990.

If that's a used big block out of a motorhome with 35,000 on it,you're an artist with a spray bomb,lol. Throw a 268 comp cam in it and it'll have a decent idle and will still pull stumps out,lol

Spent alot of time cleaning that sucker and sanding getting it ready to paint.

Motor home had a bad leaking roof that no one ever fixed and it trashed the inside. What a pain to get that motor out though..lol

Still just as beautiful as ever. Glad you had the common sense to keep it. I looked around for a few months and couldn't find anything within 300-400 miles that wasn't overpriced as hell. Went with a 2016 Challenger instead. Just couldn't bring myself to pay $20K for somebody else's hackjob excuse for a resto. Thanks Barrett-Jackson!

Now I wish I would have kept my Chevelle when I went into the army instead of selling it to a friend.

My first car was a 1968 Chevelle Malibu (4 door, we wont talk about that part :) )

Only had the 307 V8 and a 2 speed Powerglide but man that car was fun. Always started on the first crank, the heat could melt the sun (because it didnt have A/C :) ) and what fun it was going sideways in the snow and rain.

Mine was a 69, and that engine was why I sold it, it didn't have the 350. Now, I miss the simplicity of that car. Open the hood, nothing but space, it would be great these days.

I use it. Chech out link in my dog. Line.

So are you the first part...the Him/Me part? You keep posting that, but you absolutely adding nothing to the conversation.

Thanks! I just picked up 2 Jugs of 5 qts from Amazon, will try the PUP as yes u right with PP has a little tick my Ram too.
Regards,

Which oil? w20?

If that truck ends up ticking on PUP, try adding lubegard biotech right away. Last checked it was only 6 bucks amazonians.

I ran two bottles of that with my 5w30 PUP. Start up chatter was garbage after +/- 4,00 miles...like to the point I thought it was low on oil a couple of times. Imo, stick with the RL or 0w40 PUP. Maybe it's the type of molly they use or maybe it didnt agree with the PUP 5w30
