Well its a good thing I sent back all those sbc parts to Jegs. This weekend I picked up a low mile 454 bored .030 over. I got it for $880.00 :metal: Can't wait to clean it up and get it painted and in the frame.

I got some 68-71 BBC frame mounts off of ebay so I sand blasted them and modified them so that I can use my SBC motor mounts. I cut two plugs out of my old rear shock mounts I cut off. They are 1/4" steel and was the same thickness as the stands. Now I can use sbc mounts and not have to worry about expensive bbc ones.

Started bolting on some eye candy on my 454. It is looking really good, I sure did make the right choice switching to the big block. I still have to make up my spark plug wires but have to wait until I get some new boots. I ordered the wrong boots, the 90 degree boots sit right on the headers so I need to get some multi angle boots. Anyways enjoy the pics.
