Well, Taxes are all done and now its time to stimulate the economy. I found a guy with a rebuilt... supposedly 454 engine that he wants to sell, actually his wife told him to sell so he has no choice in the matter. Anyway, I will be picking it up on Saturday. I am going to take it home, give it a bath, and pull it right back apart and make sure its all good inside, probably with another rebuild done by me so I know for sure its been done. I do have a few questions before I get started.
1. Will the SBC alternator work on the 454?
2. Will I encounter any fitment issues bolting the 454 up to the TH350 using an O'reilly GM350 converter(stock reman one)? I know the pattern is the same, just want to make sure that the crank doesn't hang out too far or anything.
3. About what lift is stock for an 86 1 ton 454 with an auto? This one has like a 535 lift cam in it now and I'm worried that will eat my trans way too fast, so I have no problem getting a different cam if need be.
