I need to figure out what to do about my 80 with the 454. It has a real bad knock in the lower end. A bad rod and or crank I guess. The heads were just reworked but the look to be stock. It has an Edelbrock hi-rise performer intake and carb.
I'm going to pull the motor and see what happened and how bad it is but dang it seems like I can get a long block for now much more than what it would cost just for the parts to redo the old one.
And then there always used?
Whats ya'lls thoughts and what the best price ya'll seen on both a complete or long block motor?
But I will be putting another 454 back in. The front end was just rebuild and it has plenty of travel without bottoming so I assume that someone put in a heavy set of springs to take the weight It sits level and LOOK like it should drive alright.
Thoughts?
Thanks
