Motivating thread.

FarmTruk · 01-21-2007, 12:49 AM

She looks minty fresh now...

70GMCer · 01-21-2007, 08:23 AM

Looks great!! Although I see someone was sitting down on the job in the back ground.

Bishops Trucks · 01-21-2007, 09:04 AM

Nice Burb!

**Hart_Rod** · 01-21-2007, 09:48 AM

Glad you got it back on the road Mike. Now get busy with that 61!

stllookn · 01-22-2007, 12:27 AM

Awesome!!!! You do nice work. Bring that thing up to the Corvette and High Performance Swap Meet in Feb!

s95930 · 01-21-2007, 12:01 PM

Good job

**Ron 586** · 01-21-2007, 01:25 PM

Congrats on the new look and power in your burb. Sorry you had to go through all the blowup on the way. Love the garage crew.

stevess11 · 01-21-2007, 06:16 PM

Nice job on the new motor.

va_tlc · 01-21-2007, 07:26 PM

now thats a motor rite there. one would never think pullin up to a stop lite jus what youll be packin under that hood. very clean job congrats.

Frizzle Fry · 01-21-2007, 11:47 PM

Thanks everyone. I got on it a bit this weekend and all I can say is

As for the 61, it's tied up till April... (don't ask)

But it WILL be completed! So, I think the Burb may just have to become a Tahoe in the mean time...

68GMC454 · 01-21-2007, 11:59 PM

looks like a great crew you got..one day you will be able to sit back and drink a pepsi,,while your kids do all the work..sounds like a great engine...

Brad · 01-22-2007, 12:38 AM

Hey Mike, wanna race?

I don't!

Rick Mills · 01-23-2007, 06:57 AM

WOW! That makes me want to get my truck finished.
Looks like its a great ride.
Good crew in the background too. The smile on their faces tell it all.

mnunn454 · 01-23-2007, 10:19 PM

Very nice build thread. Thanks for the pics.

Love the 3 mechanics-in-the-making training program. Can tell they're a handfull, but having a blast.

Just did virtually the same thing to my C-10. Pulled a tired 66 396 and replaced it with a 454.

.100" overbore on a 454 seems like a lot to me. Is that safe? What was the cylinder wall thickness after the overbore?

Noticed one thing though that you may want to think about. They'll be fine for a while but 476 Cubes pushing through those necked down primary tubes on your headers is a definite choke point unless it's a very low RPM motor with peanut port heads. I'd bet you'll pick up quite a bit of HP by going with larger headers.

Food for thought.

Frizzle Fry · 01-24-2007, 07:23 PM

Thanks guys! I'm pretty darn happy with it! Scheduled to have it tuned by a shop with the proper instruments/experience today.

I love six bangers too Brad. With all those goodies and a 5-speed I bet yours runs sweet.

mnunn: You can take a 454 over by up to 125 if the initial wall thickness allows. Here's a quote from a superchevy article:

"Another notable find the first year was a 454 big-block Chevy block that had cylinder walls over about 400-thousandths thick. This made a perfect candidate for a .125-overbore using KB hypereutectic pistons and boosting inches to 482."

I do agree about the headers though. They are cheap no-name full length headers that will be replaced by 3/4 lengthers when I go to the magnaflow system.

Thanks all for the comments and advice
