If you are going with the 454, you may want to post on the suspension forum about your swap for advice before you do and mention your current suspension.

I looked at your build and with the new type A- arms and as low as you are now, I honestly think it's going to be way more than you plan for maybe even a rear end swap.

I know this is a truck ( build ) forum but sometimes switching out decent running gear and such especially when we are just getting in these trucks and cars can lead to many frustrations and stall projects.

In the end its your truck and cash but you asked for advice so this is my penny in the pot. Lol

Btw I saw your build and that truck is looking mean lowered with that black hood. You and your Dad is doing some nice work.
