Started the swap a few years ago and have just been too busy since then to post anything. Here's a short video, pictures to come a soon as I can dig them up.

Re: Big block 454 swap start up video

I have a 93 chevy 2500 454 tbi motor. I would like to know what all you had to change! I have a 700r4 and a 400 trans. I want to put it in my 88 camaro.
