    Need specs for a 454

     



    I picked up a 454 engine this weekend at a swap meet. The guy said it came out of a 76 chevy dullie truck. I would like to know how much horsepower or torque the motor has. I got two numbers off the block gm6 and 3963512. I have no clue what these two numbers are?Thanks

    Hey Denny thanks for the specs. I was planning on rebuilding the engine, and i was wondering how could i get some bigger hp numbers without spending alot of money? For example is there a certain compression ratio that i should go with, any special work on the heads, cam. any suggestions would help.
