1990 454 SS with 26 miles

[cdh027]

1990 Chevrolet C/K 454 SS with 26 miles costs more than a Toyota Supra

Chevrolet no longer makes a high-performance, street-oriented pickup. The protective plastic lining hasn't been removed from the seats or the carpets, the window sticker hasn't been peeled off, and there are still crayon marks on the instrument cluster's protective film. It came from a

That is and always will be my favorite truck of all time and I will own one some day. The closest I've gotten (but not close) was an f150 Nascar edition truck I owned for like 36hrs before a guy at work bought it from me.

Brother you need Jesus in your life!

I pray to God every day ?


I've always loved this 454 SS.


Sadly, I guess I've mentioned my 426 Supercharged
Hemi suggestion about 57 times
Too many. I'll stop.


My point was I always thought, even back in 1990 that 7.4 L should have had considerable more Pah than a 1990 5.7.
The regular Vette back then was rated at 245hp, 5.7 Iroc was 210 etc
I was always concerned with Dat Pah.
Bigger motor, in fact advertised as Big Block should had been a bit mo pah imo

I bet heads/cam wake that thing up. Pretty sure it had small port heads.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Peanut cam. They were literally suffocated

 

[boostedguy05]

Or under rated from the factory

 

[Bub]

I'd fuck with this fer sher

 

[IceCreamAssassin]

The compression was also something silly like 7.9 or 8. Needs cam and boost!

Screw HP. 385 lb-ft at 1600 rpm. That's power!

This dealer is literally around the corner from my parents house. I stop in whenever I'm down to see what they have. Usually have some interesting stuff.

Most people agree the heads on the 454SS were the worst EVER fitted to a BBC. There is a power pack out there somewhere, I think by Edelbrock, heads, cam, intake and it gives it something ridiculous like 150 horsepower

Also, the 1990 is the least desirable year...3-speed (TH400), 3.73 rear end, and only 230HP....late build 91's, 92's, and 93's got the 4L80E, 4.10 gears, and a extra 20-25HP

15.9 1/4 mile stock...not so much underrated....

Was that the competition between the 454SS and the Lightning?

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

I found the vid. It went slow as shit

 

[cdh027]

No doubt. I remember seeing a few of these at busse woods back in the day laying some serious rubber.

 

[Pressure Ratio]

These were not underrated, they were slow. The, also slow, Ford Lightning was quicker with its 351 cube motor. Companies, I think including GM Performance, sold packages for these to increase the power.

But ya, the low compression was still holding back potential.
