Talking Re: I think I got a BIG Score today..

It has fifty thousand dollars worth of miles on it?

Nice score! Something I've always wanted to know....will a 454 like that put out the same power as an old school muscle car era 454 if you build it right?

Re: I think I got a BIG Score today..

$50,000 worth of miles on it that translates into about three tanks of gasoline in these parts

Re: I think I got a BIG Score today..

Even though you got the harness etc. An aftermarket TBI or TPI set up would be easier to install. You could sell the TBI and Computer and put it toward the a/m unit. Just a thought......Jerry

I like those to but at the moment don't really feel like spending more money for Valve covers then a performer TBI intake.. That price is crazy.. I could get a set of gauges for a set of valve covers, but they sure do look nice..
