Hi folks,
Been a lot of years but I'm getting back into playing with motors again. My current project is a 454 from a 79 GMC one ton, been bored to 30 already but all the guts look good enough to re-use for a mild 4x4 and some light towing. Looking forward to learning from everyone.

Welcome to CHR Randy! Is the engine going back in the same one ton, or power up a different toter?Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

Welcome to CHR! We'll be looking forward to seeing and hearing about your project as you drop that big 454 in something. Maybe a CJ for some offroading??

Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

Thanks for the welcome. As for the 454 the current plan is to find a decent cab and bed for a chevy 3/4 ton 4x4 I have. Was given to me minus the BBC that was in it, 4spd with the 205 transfer case, rancho springs up front. Body is from back east so it's pretty well shot but the frame is in great shape.

I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
