unidentified 454
Hello everyone,
I am new to this site, and am happy to be here. I "inherited" a '73 split bumper Camaro project with a 454 installed. Nothing was hooked up at all, no history, and as it turns out the seller doesn't know anything.
The engine came out of an RV. Everything looks good- not a lot of miles. The problem I have is where the oil pressure sender is supposed to be located. There are a few threaded holes in the block, but none of them are 1/8". Also, there is the number 74 on the left side below the head. Is that the year? There is a 1/8" port close to the oil filter, but it is plugged.
I have a lot of experience with engines over the years. From Cosworths in formula cars to bike engines, but this is new to me. No one around here can help.
This project is going to turn out great as this is a very cool car, but I need help.
