I took a 454/4L80E combo out of a 96 Suburban. Put a Crane PN 168721 cam, dual springs and a set of headers on it. This engine had 200k miles on it and I just put mains, rods and oil pump in it. Put it in my 68 Chevelle drag car with 5.13 gears. 'bout 3100 lbs. Running 12.4's @108. Yes I also wanted more but not bad for what it is. Running factory fuel injection with the Crane power programmer.

Here's some pics/info if you're interested.
