ending '77 tow rig project...new 454/700R4 for sale in Texas...other parts - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

superchevy · 02-12-2005, 02:11 PM

Well, I broke down and bought a Suburban to tow/haul my stuff around, so I'm ending my '77 C20 project build. I don't need this 454 or 700R4 anymore (have plenty--see sig), so I'm going to put it up for sale here. I will let you pay out the 454 over a couple of months if needed.
Here goes:
Just rebuilt (by E.T. Performance in Garland, TX)
Short block:
'73 2-bolt 454 bored .030 over. Everything balanced. Rods resized. Crank turned. New factory cast pistons (8.5-1). Clevite bearings. Mellings HV oil pump. Cloyes Tru-Roller chain and gears. New oil pan.
Degreed Comp Cams 262H-11 hydraulic cam 218/226 dur and lift of .505/.515...nothing radical...damn good street cam. Comp hydraulic lifters.
Heads:
'73 big oval port 781's rebuilt with new valves (stock size) Comp springs, retainers, locks, Comp steel Magnum roller rockers, Comp rocker studs and Comp 7/16" pushrods.
Intake is a Performer Plus aluminum intake.
New waterpump. Chrome timing cover. Accel Hei. Everything is new.
Engine was broken in on dyno (379hp/460lbft), and I have about 100 miles on it getting the truck and transmission dialed in.
It runs very strong and has just a slight "lope" to it at idle...enough to let the other guys know "it ain't stock"

.
Engine is currently in the truck, so you can hear it run if you like.
The carb is available separately, as well as the ceramic coated headers.
No accessories like alt, ac, or brackets included...just the engine.
$1700 firm, or if needed $1000 down and the rest negotiated.
Here's a pic before it was installed:
See below for info on the 700R4 trans.

superchevy · 02-12-2005, 02:17 PM

The 700R4 I have for sale is a fresh, rebuilt unit, with high performance clutches and bands. It took me a while to get everything modified to put it behind the 454 in the '77, but using the Bowtie Overdrive pieces, and having a friend here local who's a trans expert, we got it in and shifting very well.
It has the Bowtie overdrives lock up wiring installed in it, as well as the BTO "carb" spring for the TV valve.
This trans has about 100 miles on it.
It shifts very firmly into second, and crisply into 3rd and 4th.
$450 plus shipping .... ti's heavy.
2200 stall lock up convertor, flexplate, and BTO tv-made-easy kit for Edelbrock carb all available separately.

Tx Firefighter · 02-12-2005, 02:24 PM

Casey, are you selling the 3/4 ton truck too?

superchevy · 02-12-2005, 02:27 PM

Kevin, yes, I was going to list it for sale.
PM me if you want to talk it over.
Casey

Tx Firefighter · 02-12-2005, 02:29 PM

I don't have much money right now, I just know you always have clean trucks. I'd imagine you want more than I could scrape up extra.

I'm much more interested in the overdrive. How much extra for the torque converter?

Ring Master · 02-12-2005, 02:30 PM

would the 700R4 work good in a 72 chevelle or is setup more for a tow rig? did you upgrade the servos in it? Is it slip or fixed rear yoke?

superchevy · 02-12-2005, 02:30 PM

$100 for the convertor.
Let me know.

superchevy · 02-12-2005, 02:32 PM

Actually, the 700 was built for a hot rod...has the Corvette servo in it...supposed to be good for 500lbft.

Ring Master · 02-12-2005, 02:34 PM

what kind of HP?

Purs · 02-12-2005, 03:08 PM

superchevy · 02-13-2005, 10:50 AM

still for sale

Ring Master · 02-13-2005, 07:00 PM

still have trans and everything?

f.monroe · 02-13-2005, 11:05 PM

Superchevy ,
Is the trans still in the truck and can it be driven. I might be interested in the trans and converter. I am about to start driving my 77 Bonanza and the OD would be nice. You can call me at 979-218-2936 days or send me your number and I will call tomorrow.Frank

I may be interested and I'm in austin. Thinking about a crate engine, would this be too much engine for a daily driver?

superchevy · 02-15-2005, 10:44 AM

Trans is sold.
Thanks RingMaster.

meathead95 · 02-15-2005, 05:04 PM

how much for he headers? brand/partnumber?

superchevy · 02-15-2005, 11:09 PM

I bought the headers used, but they are in great shape.
I can't find a brand or part number on them anywhere.
They are full length, ceramic coated, with thick flanges.
$125 + shipping.

Purs · 02-15-2005, 11:15 PM

Can you measure the width of the primaries and collectors?

Thanks!

1978steven · 02-16-2005, 08:54 AM

Is the tranny still for sale? Will it go behind the 350 in my '71? I would want the stall and the tv kit also.
