Warming up a 454
I'm collecting ideas for a "what if" scenario.
I have a chance to get an '87 1-ton, 454 tbi truck for essentially free if I want to drive it away. Been toying with the idea of installing the engine in my '72. I lurked over at 454ss.com for a while, looking for a baseline on a solid "roast the tires" buildup, but can't seem to find one. If you guys were going to do this and keep the tbi, what mods would you make so that it'd run streetable strong? Heads? Cam? Intake? PROM? All suggestions appreciated.
