Hi everyone i am going to the junkyards this weekend and figured i would be on the lookout for a Big Block to drop in my Elky anyone have any perticular model/year i should look for? any help would be apreciated

A lot of '70's Chevy station wagons had 402's in 'em. From what I hear, the pickins are pretty slim lately for 454's out of trucks and such.

Look for early to late 70's chevy p/u's and suburbans. The 454's were fairly common in them.

I went to the junkyard loking for ANY BBC to use as a mockup. Could b in any condition, it could have a hole in it for all I cared I told them. They had 1 tired 454 they were asking 500 bix for. beyond that, nuttin'.

World Products & Merlin sell 'em all day long.

Don't overlook the motorhomes. Many of the Chevy chassis ones are a sure bet to have a 454 in them. Most of them are low mileage. Check out some of the RV centers for a wrecked one.

i use to get all my blocks from the scrape yard but they will not sell blocks no more motorhomes go cheap at car auctions but you get a big wooden box with a truck frame what do you do with the rest of it?? world products & dart make them but i like to build and sell the mild stuff so a guy can have fun with out spending big $$$ i love my donovan tall deck. but i like to build low dollar stuff to

You take the rest of the carcus to the scrap yard and get some of your money back.
