454 BBC Motor minus carb!

« **on:** February 26, 2012, 06:46:01 PM »

I have a 454 BBC for sale, pulling it out of my Kachina. I just bought a day cruiser with a 460 and i need the money. Also selling the hull, it has a big crack that needs to be re-glassed. Don't know much about the motor. I know it runs like a bat out of hell, only got to use it twice last season. fresh oil. Make me an offer!

As much as I would like to have it for another project I have going I can't afford it at this time. But it could be worth it for you to do a little research on the engine.

Check engine and cylinder head casting numbers to confirm what they are
Pull a valve cover to see if it has roller rockers
Does it have a stock type oil pan or a large capacity pan

Just knowing a few things about the engine will make it easier for you to ask more money for it.

Good luck with the sale.
