Dammm, sorry to hear the bad news, again
. I dont know much about Chevys, but if the 396 crank and rods are still good cant you use them in the 454 block to make a 427 ?
Very nice piece ! Congratulations ! assuming your going to use this for home/castle defense
Give some thought to this (below) its an "anti personel" round designed to stop a perp not go thru several walls and neighboring houses and apartments .They're spendy but worth it just my 02 Tom

so im just spending money on junk it looks like, not the first time. well here it is not to purdy but its what it say's it is.
The MSD pills are resistors. Resistors in quanitity are about 10 to the penny. MSD charges ~$50 for a set of pills, which are pretty 1/4 watt resistors.
For the power requirement, that is easy enough -
E=IR
or in this case use a little algabra -
E/R=I
so
12Volts/1930 OHMS = .0062 Amps
Amps * Volts = Watts
.0062 * 12 V = .074 Watts
So in theory, an 1/8th Watt resistor could work (.125W) - but you usually (at least) double for guardbanding.
Keep in mind the 1930 ohm resistor would draw the most current - the higher RPM pills would draw even less.
i sure dig hotrods diagrams!!
What, you don't like spending $50 on a $.01 resistor?
But i would be happy with $200 for a replacement block and the 454 rods.You got it, but I just checked it and it's a 0.020 over block right now. Which means boring = Bigger Better Faster
You got it, but I just checked it and it's a 0.020 over block right now. Which means boring
she is gonna KILL me with all these bad engines i keep buying. Im just in a hurry to get my boat back , damn it.Very effin Cheap, make an offer. Come over here and get this thing before I change my mind
Oh come on now, I gots a block. I'm not sure but I believe it is .030 over? I'll have to check it out. I'll have to check it out. 454 block, if it will help you then it's here
How much $$$What's that?
I can't keep up, I thought you said you had aluminum heads coming today?
Now Rod, i never said it was coming today. I just said im waiting for them. Any one now where i can get a 396 or 454 block? I got more bad news from the machine shop

f your gonna work on em a bit i'd go with the xm270h by Comp
Really appreciate it.We've built 454's with peanuts before, I would typically drop down a stage on the cam. run about 4700-4800 with an A
Im dropping the heads off now to be magged and cleaned then we can start the head work and thats just the beginning 
Thats what i have at the moment If it's 0 decked you could always check out the stroke with a dial caliper
nice.....got the oil holes chamfered, nice polish job, sweet. So....what is it, 396, 454, 427...?
sweet...ya know forged pistons fit w/ over twice the clearence as cast pistons. Thats why it's important to warm your enigine up properly before dropping the hammer, they swell up a little when warmed. Damn, if you would have ccalled when in town i could have given you my old calipers I got two new sets today. Any idea what the bore is yet?
I pulled the pistons out today and they looked good i think with a hone and new rings i will be good to go on that end. Next time im in Vegas i will give you a buzz , which might be next month again. Check out this crank its 010 but it sure is purdy 
got some bare BBC recs if anyones interested Tom
Less than 2 hours apart.
