Pics of new engine

Got the 454 back from the engine builders.
Here are some pics, sorry for the long scroll to get to the current pics....also added some new wheels and tires

Good looking engine. Now you'll need to take out a loan to fill the tank. ;)

Wow very nice looking motor.

So, when does the rest of the truck get to look like the motor?

never, going to leave it original on the outside as it's a pretty rare truck in the color combo.....I will eventually repaint it and redo the woodgrain but that's wayyyy down the road.

If it was mine I would definately be looking at replacing that rubber fuel line with something that can take the heat and vibration of a 454 . Edlebrock makes a few nice steel line kit for that carb or ignore it if you like engine fires. :MonkBurn:

You fit in with the Springtown locals now with tire wheel combo. Looking good!

Thanks guys!
Yep I plan on doing the metal fuel lines and in fact all the lines will be steel braided or metal but this is just for getting the truck home and driving down to the store a couple miles etc.

right now I am chasing down a vacuum leak

Orange! Who would've guessed! ::Banana::
