I know it has been a while since I have posted any updates on the the truck. I have not done much more to the truck other than toasting the 454 in it.
454 does not like be pushed over 5000rpm. I knew this, but was not going to be beat by 6.7 diesel in a lifted Ford.
So the 502 is now being built for the truck. I may start a new thread on the engine build an install. But one useful piece of info. I was going to use a fast efi system, but after much research I found out the mercruiser 525efi intake is a gm ramjet efi intake with a fuel cooler. So after as lot of research and looking I purchased a mercruiser 525 efi intake. This will allow me to use a regular gm computer (doing an 0411 swap).
I have not made a determination on internals yet as I am waiting to see how the block cleans up and the bore size. I will try to post info on the build as I go.
