I removed this 454 big block from my 69 Chevelle to install the correct engine back in my car. I had plans to change heads and cam and install it in another project but I need to focus on my 69 instead. Not sure of the mileage on this 454 but ran very good with no noises nor smoke and very minimal wear in the cylinders..Appears to be standard bore and has a stock cam. It is a 4 bolt main with 2 piece rear seal. I sold the 454 heads that were on it and purchased a pair of closed chamber "702" casting heads ( see pictures). I had the bare 702 castings cleaned and checked by a machine shop and are ready to machine and build. I have the balancer, flex plate and chrome Edelbrock valve covers to go with it. 
So, in a nutshell you are getting a running condition 454 4 bolt short block, 1 pair of bare "702" casting 427 oval port heads, balancer, flex plate and chrome Edelbrock valve covers. You will need to purchase everything else but this is a great start to a super engine at a fraction of the cost. I just don't need it. Please refer to pictures as part of the description and feel free to ask questions. Local pick up in Charlotte/Mint hill N.C. I can possibly deliver in the Carolina's for a fee.

Expanding police power to award on-the-spot fines for careless driving is the headline initiative of the government's latest road safety plan for England, Scotland and Wales. The initiative is part of the Strategic Framework for Road Safety, released today by the Department for Transport. I'm sorry officer, what exactly am I being fined for?

Nissan NV3500 passenger van promises quiet and safety

Thu, 10 Nov 2011

Early this year Nissan introduced a full-sized commercial panel van that's offered in two flavors -- standard and tall; as in, you can walk around the interior. So it was just a matter of time until Nissan targeted the hotel shuttle and church bus crowd with a windowed passenger model using that platform. First impression is that Nissan's windowed van is a very credible competitor for a segment that has been dominated by the Ford E-series and the Chevrolet Express, and to a lesser degree by the GMC Savana and Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter.

Bentley set to enter Dakar rally with new SUV

Thu, 17 May 2012

Is Bentley planning to enter the 2013 Dakar rally with a race version of its new Range Rover-rivaling luxury SUV? CAR has uncovered early plans suggesting that Crewe is preparing to do exactly that, helping give its EXP 9F 4x4 a motorsport pedigree to smoothe the arrival of this rather controversial 4x4. CAR understands that Bentley is currently buying back the Race Touaregs that VW Motorsport sold to privateer teams after leaving the event to concentrate on its Polo WRC entry.
