very dead forum huh. what do we only have like 4 real members remaining?

so I'm trying to shove a chevy 454 in this since 455s are just unobtainable withing 2500 Miles of me for anything less than 12k.
has anyone attempted this or nah? I'm fairly sure I can find a BOP bolt pattern 454 out of a 80s truck or rv or just use it for my RWD swap plan

About 92k now. I got it at 89k and back then the car could pull fairly hard to 80 I've just never had it over that.

finally getting back to this car after a year of sitting. I forgot how extremely solid it is underneath for 30k miles of dirt roads. anyways I haven't been able to pull my blown up olds 455 since I haven't found a replacement or really any parts to finish the ac or accessory drive. plus the interior...

nobody? alright well I think I found a column rebuild kit

fixing my toronado I bought 2 years ago because I finally have time. it's a legit basket case because the previous owner was a scumbag, he sold it to me with a blown motor but I didn't know at the time and he stripped it for parts before I bought it but hey it was 1200 bucks so eh? anyways I'm fixin...
