Very nice.    :thumbs:    How does it run?  Always wanted one and I passed on a red one because money wasn't right at the time.

It runs just like a 454TBI motor weak. I'm selling it this week. I'll post up my Dodge tomorrow :mad:

The '68 is in really good shape.

I love those old trucks. Awesome trucks.

After seeing it I'll be keeping the SS for awhile

Hard to believe the 454SS only produced 230 hp (today's GM truck is producing 315 hp with a small block) and 385 lbs of torque then. Of course, you can get a lot more than that out of the motor easy.

I'm suprised GM hasn't bumped the horsepower to exceed Dodge's 390 hp on the 5.7L Hemi.

90% of the motors problem are the heads

That motor is a stout motor. It produces a lot more power than the old Vortec V6.

Sure.

You get it to flow, and the motor produces awesome power. Big blocks rock.

I'd love to get a 454SS and drop in a new ZZ572.

Hard to believe the 454SS only produced 230 hp (today's GM truck is producing 315 hp with a small block) and 385 lbs of torque then. Of course, you can get a lot more than that out of the motor easy.

GM has maintained their slight lead...the 6.2L that made it's first appearance in the 2007 Sierra Denali makes 403 hp.  I think that you can get that engine in the Chevy's now too.

I have always been a GM fan, but I must say the 2009 Dodge truck is the sweetest truck Dodge has ever built. It rides like a GM product, has plenty of power with the Hemi, and the interior (especially the new seats) is just awesome.

The Vortec 6.0L (367 hp @ 5600 rpm, 375 lb-ft of torque @ 4300 rpm) is the largest engine available for extended cab model trucks, and the 6.2L Engine is available on crew cab models (403 hp @ 5700 rpm, 417 lb-ft of torque @ 4300 rpm). The 6.2L is a solid engine.
