1997 Chevy K3500 CC DRW 454 to 12 valve

Meet the Albino Rhino........7' tall 7' wide

Decided to startup a conversion thread of my own, the Ol' girl has to have a transplant. the 454 has to go..............I'm just waiting on the arrival of my 12 valve to get started.

Gonna be sweet I've got a couple buddy's running that version of the 454. Lotsa fuel, not much power---you're gonna be in a real good place with a 12v transplant!! Sharp Truck!

Thanks, you know it! and best of all I've got the full meal deal to drop the Vortec 454 into my '73 Z-28..........after a complete warmup that is.

Fuel injected big block is exactly what the '73 needs, and 12 valve is exactly what the crewcab needs

Everybody's a winner

I don't know if they do or not. this is 10 on 285mm. They're American force adapters. I'm not missing 2 lug nuts they're just not in the picture.
