Just owners Projects and Mine LOL That trunk though oh my only one hole size of a quarter in trunk you would never know this sat in the grass for decades by looking at it

[Limey SE]

So Rods /pistons I got taken on for the 396 Build so started to look again and for what the next set of rods pistons were gonna cost I got the 100% complete 454 from this Motorhome, Hopefully by Sunday will be out

[Limey SE]

Well the Nightmare is Finally over I have liberated the Motorhome 454 and transmission I WOULD NEVER RECOMEMNED this LMAO

[Limey SE]

Well the 454 is on the stand ready to dive into it YAYYY I don't want to do this again so hopefully all the internals will hold up Only thing I am re using is the Block, Crank, Rods, Pistons everything else will be switched out

[Limey SE]

Ok Now that I am NOT burnt out on Pulling the 454 from its hull anymore man that sucked I am gonna start tearing into this I scored these covers from a friend and cleaned them up and what a difference over the chrome they make I love them a lot better

Heads are back and ready to rock Have to get cam kit and gaskets and can open it up and see what I have and got replacement 454 badges for Valve covers

[Limey SE]

Ok so sold the stock 454 heads from 1987 to a guy unexpectedly didn't think they would sell so fast LOL ..... so had to come apart sooner than expected actually doesn't look half bad will drain remainder of oil in it and flip her over and check bearings any idea on piston cc foe this year dont want to take to shop JUST for that ? Doing the build at home as much as I can .... Put heads on so they wont get warpped after getting done just snugged them up

[Limey SE]

The other Cam Had 527/553 Lift and was at the extreme limit for stock pistons Had picture proof of the damage BUT Like mentioned he changed his Valves to a larger size BUT all in all this is still WAYYYYYYY bettter than the stock size was

[Limey SE]

Update: Motor is apart Cam was well Tired to say the least BUT for a 67 thousand Mile Motor home motor, Cam was not really all that bad (NO Not reusing) anyhow its dissembled Have to pull cam bearings for sure Will check crank and main when I pull a cap or two off in next few days and Some one asked about the Oil pan difference I dont remember who BUT took a side by side to show difference from RV to car pan

Also with the balancer I am looking to replace it because of the grommet cracking and coming out of the groove so have been advised to R/R it But replacement one is different it only has two drilled Holes in it instead of 3 in my mine and weighs 15.25 (new one) I haven't weighed mine yet the second one BOTH SAY direct replacement and the Second one weighs 15.40 pounds.

Anyways Enjoy pictures Cant wait to get this Back together WOOT WOOT
