Hi to all the 88 -98 (99 classic) owners and lovers. I have a very cherry 454SS (91) and have owned it for a very long time not since new but the late 90s.
I am battling Cancer and have decided to finish my truck the way I have always wanted to. This means 502 crate engine and a host of changes throughout the truck.
My SS is in great shape, original carpeting engine drive train and so forth. My next step is to upgrade all the brakes to perf and slotted rotors all new powder coated calipers and a conversion for the very rare 14 bolt 5 lug rear end first to take out the 4:10s and go to a 3:43: 1 I figured the gen 6 502 will have lots of stuff to spin up a 3:43.
So I am asking for help from you all. I built 4 brand new Chevrolet trucks in the 90s, a pair of reg ca short boxes fleet sides, a 91 and 96, and a pare of extended cabs 93 and 98 before locating the truck I should have bought new in the first place my current SS.
These trucks were all lowered, sway bars big street boots and SLE models. The 93,96 and 98 were all white and had sticks in them ordered from GM brand new with the small block.
I fell in love with the ram air "442" style hood and want one for my 91 454SS. Not an easy find.
If any of you know of one please let me know I will pay to get it here to Canada and I'm not afraid to pay well.
I will add pics as the project progresses, I will be starting with 460 to 500 HP and 550 to 580 ft lbs of torques, and moving the rear diff to a disc brake conversion and 3:43 gears.
I am always interested in other hard to find parts especially the red interior parts as they are very hard to find.
Any help or information would be appreciated.
