So, are these engines low performance?

I know it's not a 427, or 454 but it can't be that horrible?

It should at least out muscle a basic stock 350 small block?

Today at pull n save I saw a 1984 crew cab truck with a 454, according to the tag on air breather.

Odometer said 25,000 ish miles, but probably 125 or 225, it was a landscaping company truck, thinking of maybe getting the engine, was missing carb, distributor, and some other stuff, but had heads exhuast manifolds, etc, but I will probably skip it as my truck isn't running, and a big block can't be hauled in a PT Cruiser (I don't think so anyways) or a C5 Corvette. Lol

Passenger side valve cover was popped off, I think you can get a complete engine for about $400.00.

If any local people want it, it's Pull N Save in Gilbert of off Cooper Road.

Didn't crawl under but probably a TH400 if anyone wants those anymore.
