RV 454 runs. Now the fun begins.
Got the RV 454 running on my cheap engine cradle. Seems to be in good shape. Almost don't want to take it apart. But it will be better after the build.

Strange my fuckin comment vanished. Imagine that.
Thanks for posting, i would sure like to meet you sometime!
Wow, runs good
Stuff it in the early 3rd gen. Get that thing right twisted. That old 454 sounds pretty snappy as it is. I'm sure it will be nuts when you're done with it. Nice little test set up.

The Camaro has a fresh built SBC that makes around 550hp or so. It's pretty rowdy. Brand new expensive ass headers too. But I'm also building a 496 bigblock Chevy with a tunnelram that'll probably go in the Camaro in a year or so. It's gonna make around 800hp NA. Gonna drop this 454 into a gutted 79 Cutlass that don't weigh shit. Manual T-400 & 5000 BTE convertor and 4-57 gear on a 35 spline spool in a QP 9 in Ford going behind it. It's pretty much a drag only car. Been sitting over 20yrs.

@@thereluctantgearhead4544 Sweet, I've had a 91' Z28 since 93' so I'm gonna have to go thru your videos to check it out. One thing for sure is NOBODY will be able to say that Cutlass is gutless.
Gotta figure out how to make those old dried up pumps work again just in case the world goes to a Mad Max era.😯😎👍

The other electric pump was just one of those little Mr Gasket helper pumps. Not worth much. Probably made in 1980.

Yep, 236 castings. But they are going on a shelf. Low mile units, probably sell them. Too small for my plans. It's a 1981 Motorhome 454 straight out of the RV. Been sitting for decades. I'm just gonna use the bare block.
