Got a 454 is it worth the troble to swap - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My father has a 454 he's wanting to get rid of, he's had it for a few months and can't seem to get rid of it, he got for his 95 3/4 pickup and ended up selling the truck. He said i could have it if i wanted it.

Just not sure if it would be worth it to swap into my 84 C/10

Nothing sucks gas like a big block chevy

Just keep that in mind =) I would do it if gas were cheaper...

If you gotta big block you arent worried about gas mileage. If you are worried about gas mileage you dont need a big block.

Figure about 10 mpg stock. But that is to the floor or hauling a house. lol
