For what I read tonight, as I am doing my Big Block, the 4 bolt main is 110LBS
It can be either a 2 or 4 bolt
Yes it will
Yes it will bolt right up.
Chevrolet 454 C.I Big Block 1973-79 2 Bolt Main
Yes it will fit. bellhousing will fit but the torque converter will not bolt up to flex plate (flywheel) not to mention the trans cant handle the increased amount of torque with big block
40 lbs
just shipped a '99 454 bare block 208 lbs on the scale. Block and main caps only.
i believe that any 454 bbc head will bolt up to any 454 Block. But some heads are beter then others. I would find out the specs of the head before installing.
When you take the oil pan off of the motor you will see the crank shaft. The caps that hold the crank shaft in the block are held down with bolts. 2 bolts each is a 2 bold main. 4 bolts is a 4 bolt main
If the number 8999289 is a casting number inside a bell the first number is a 3. Then the block that is in question would be a 4 bolt block with 4 main caps.
454 engine torque is 752 pounds of torque
Yes, but the big block may need a hi-torque starter.
