I've seen good ones with everything intact and in good shape go for a grand.
Head to the 454SS site with TBI questions, those guys have pretty much got it figured out and they're a helpful bunch.

70Blazer, are you sure about the clutch posi's in Roadmasters and Caprices? I need a posi for my '97 Tahoe that now has a one tire fryer, I don't really want a locker and won't waste my time installing a gov-bomb in this 10-bolt rearend.
Yes it is true...I have one in my 94 shortbed..and i have some info on this thread..with pics..

Larry..i was not trying to push you to buy the rear i have,sorry..
..I know you are 1500+ miles away...
I just figured that building a truck...you may need it..I would like to take a raod trip out west one day...I have never been past nashville..on the west side to the salvage auction..

I know its hard to find,thats why i pulled it out,put a 10bolt back in the 90 454SS before it went back to the salvage auction..truck was rusted out..I got it running and trippled my money on it..

I have to many projects right now anyway...
