In Reply to: OT: 1984 Chevy truck engine swap posted by Farm W/ Junk on December 25, 2005 at 06:41:14:
The 454 was originally available for that truck so it is possible to do. It gets better mileage than the 350 if you have a light foot. A friend of mine did that exact swap, 454 into a 1984 Chevy Silverado, but he had the benefit of owning the 1982 Chevy half-ton the 454 came from. That would be the best way to do it. Starting with a long-block engine would be difficult because lots of things are different. You will really want new motor mounts, and the bell housing, and lots of other parts need changed out. You will really want the bigger differential from a 4/4 ton truck for the massive torque of the 454 engine. The 454,427, and 396 should use the same basic block so that wouldn't matter. The 427 is the local dirt-track racer's choice because performance parts for them are abundant and relatively cheap.
