Default New 454

Picked up a 454, 73 block, 781 heads and Lunati cam. Couldn't pass up the deal. Has aluminum roller rockers. Those have to go, I want my original 70 chrome valve covers and the rollers won't fit under them. It's black now. looks like it was painted with a roller instead of spray can. I'll strip that off and paint it orange. Nice winter time project getting it ready. Probably change the intake manifold. Has an Edlebrock Performer on it. Made to handle either spread bore or square bore carb. Problem is it was powder coated gray, doesn't look all that great, in my opinion. I like the straight cast aluminum intakes.
