Read till end for for surprise It Really felt good to work on the 454 Finally after few illnesses. Not going onto that Just happy I can start the 454 finalization for install hopefully in Two weeks since I had to move away from the body work for a minute. ANYWAYS Oil pump, Fuel Pump, balancer, heads cranked down for good, next have to sort out the to tall oil pump or to short Oil pan whichever is less expensive...... OH BY THE WAY 4 SPEED is now in house with Hurst competition plus shifter only thing lacking is clutch assy and flywheel..... Also have the bigger 96 Z28 front sway bar as well ( daughter painted it today ) Love it when a buddy upgrades his 96 Z28 and gives you the old parts YEA BUDDY
That pedal.
Hey your pump pickup isn't fully seated.
Yea I know I have to
1. Find a Shorter Oil Pump I think they sent me the RV pump instead of car one (motor came from RV)
2. Find a deeper Oil pan that still fits my car LOL
So didnt want to seat it all the way in case has to go back
That pedal.
Hey your pump pickup isn't fully seated.
Welll Good thing I never seated that oil pick up fully its going back they screwed up and sent me the Truck application by mistake, The right one should be here tomorrow and Thursday pickup pushrods

Sweet dreams 305 you are now being put to sleep, The 454 wants in there now, MY oldest Daughter even helped out thank Ya Daughter
305 resting quietly in Shed 454 is ready to pound the dam door down, Got some color added in there as planned (AC BOX is coming out in spring time so I cared not one about overspray on wires) and yes in spring time Brake Booster will be normal color I put Rust converter then primer (primer is porous) so wanted paint on it primed and painted Last picture is before Its not showroom but its good enough for me
No 250 shot send off with a burn out?
No its original Motor with only 46k Miles BUT yea I get what you mean and yea I know only a 305 BUT like mentioned original to car and being what it is Thats why Am saving it
Yeah that's cool that you're keeping the matching #s bit if it was a regular 73-77 probably not so required but this is a rare car and you'll likely benefit from it if you ever send it on its way to the next owner. I've got the old one here from my first Astro, it really could have used a send off. I bet it would have done surprisingly well.
Yea regular Malibu Classic would have sent it to the Moon, but she was down on power quite a bit Carb needs rebuilt (backfires thru it when let off Gas) 2 barrel carb (derby friends are bugging me to sell it to them) and instead of rebuilding the 305 I chose to just 454 swap With everything said and Done I have around $895 Bucks into the build ....... The motor / Transmission th475 came from a non wanted Motorhome, the Only New parts were Cam, Lifters, Rings, Oil pump/pickup, Water pump, headers............ I already Had Intake and the Quickfuel carb
It's officially bolted in there FINALLY AFTER A VERY LONG TIME

Nothing really happening during winter with no garage BUT I printed up a Factory Looking emissions decal for 1977 with a 454 ....The only ones I could find even for a truck were ONLY up to a 350 as we Know the GM cars didn't come with a 454, SO I made my own LOL
