Hey there everyone, I was wondering if there is a difference in the TRUCK and CAR BBC 454. I know that the 427 in a truck is sometimes a "TALL" deck engine. Is this true with a 454 as well?

There are tall deck 454's as well, but just because it came out of a truck it's not necessarily a tall deck block. My current 454 was from a 76 chevy pickup, but it's a standard deck height.
Thanks for the reply, JohnnyO. I guess now I need to find out what the casting number is on the block. The guy is going to give me the whole truck (with the running 454) for $300 dollors! LOL!
I guess no matter what it is, I'll come out ahead:LOL:
the TRUCK engines are in the big C-60s etc. the big trucks...pickups arent considered as TRUCK in this referance.
That's great to hear! Thanks for the info!
Shark, Mortec.com is good for checking casting numbers on blocks and heads
Ok, COOL!Quote:

I do have the GM Casting Numbers book, but it only tells if its a "TRUCK" engine. It doesn't say if its a "TALL" deck or not. The guy that I'm buying it from said it's out of a 1 ton pick-up. Should this still be a standard block, you think?
