Re: Minnesota Daily Driver
Turns out the #8 intake broke and sent the valve through the piston chipping the block in the process.
I was pretty bummed and didn't want to undertake rebuilding & sleeving the 454 at that time so I decided to use the 400SB out of my beat-up '78 K10 as it had under 90,000 miles and ran very well.
The original intention was to do a clean-up of the 400 and install it in the truck. I decided to go a little deeper to verify the condition of the engine and ended up doing a full rebuild.
A few pics of the 454 being removed:
