Ok, so long story short, can’t find a vortex 454 (96+) straight out of a truck to swap into mine (2000 K2500 454). However, lots of older boats, and marine 454’s. If I can find a Gen 6 marine 454, I believe all I would need to swap over is: front accessories, intake, fueling, exhaust manifolds, oil pan. I’ve heard the cams are different, is there any computer tuning that would need to be done? Or could I do a OEM truck cam kit or mild cam kit that wouldn’t require computer tuning? Anything else I’d need to swap?
Yes I still plan on my “OEM” 8.1 swap, for the ones who may have seen that thread, but this is to get the truck back on the road for derby season, while I continue to search for parts.
