Hello to all!

I just joined, i own a 1986 2wd silverado.

I am swapping out the stock 305 for a 454 and im also selling my longbox and going to be cutting down to a shortbox.

i know a more than fair amount about sbc engines, but i know almost nothing about the big rats! so far i am planning on using my 700R4 as it was recently rebuilt. i was told the stock motor mounts will work.

the 454 is from an 89 TBI, and i am planning on going carb. I would really like a vortec multiport intake like the 97 454's but i dont have the money right now. how much is involved and what should i look out for on both swaps?

as far as the swb i have dual tanks and they are 16gal. will they work? it is in excellent shape, not a spec of rust and no dings or dents. it is faded, thats about it (white)

sorry for all the questions, i should catch on quick and soon be a help to the next new feller


thanks in advance.

Joe
