Post by: UNDONE on February 20, 2008, 08:36:40 AM: You'd probably want to change out the flat tappet and solid lifters unless you like adjusting valves. I'll get back to you on price. Gotta figure out how much what's in it cost... Just traded it for a side job over the last two weekends.

Post by: sangerflatty on February 20, 2008, 09:12:13 PM: no problem just let me know. Would love to get back out on the water
and as for the flat tappet with with solid lifters thats no problem, thats how my last motors where and all that means is more time in the garage with a beer away from the wife and kid and a little alone time with me and my boat ;D

Post by: River Dad on February 24, 2008, 08:06:35 AM: I've got a fresh 4 bolt 454 long block with paperwork. Came out of a boat I bought. has hyd RV cam, oval heads, etc, just a pump gas deal, not a hot rod motor. I'm going to leak it down today and pull the numbers from the heads and block. Looking for around 2500. Good news is you should be able to get that easy for it when your motor is done. 0 hours on it now. Includes pan and valve covers. Came from Brad's Liberty. The guy had it built then lost interest in the project. I'll get a pic up today.
