I have truly been bitten by the big block bug... added another to the stable today, this one a GenV. It will be the motor i use for my slow build... to the 572 point or so...
Here are the numbers off these 2 blocks and sets of heads. (more for me that anyone else, if i don't type it all here, i will lose the info in the stack of scraps of papers that is my office)
Motor 1 - The one being dropped into the rig initially (regretfully)
Block - 14015445...454.......78-90...2 or 4 bolt
Heads - 14092360...86-90...oval...OPEN...454 Truck, "peanut" round ports
Motor 2 - The one that will be built and dropped in next winter (hopefully)
Block - 10114182...454.......91-up...4-bolt, Gen.V
Heads - 10114156...91-up...oval...OPEN...Gen.V & VI 454, 118cc chamber
Doing a cam, lifters, springs, roller rockers, oil pump, and timing set on the drop in motor. Low compression on pane, power won't be the best, but it will get me on the trail til i finish the second motor.
Got some more done on the rig, pics later...
