The dynamic duo- 64 c10 build/ 73 LT camaro

[BigJoe]

so a buddy of mine just offered me a 454 with th400 for free, can't say no to free stuff i'm debating wether to make the camaro or the c10 a 496 big block monster. Still want to go tremec in both of em but a free big block might be fun.

so finally got around to picking up the BBC, now to figure out how to build it. going to stick with the LS in the camaro but figure a BB in the c10 isn't a bad idea. How would you build it? plan is to put it in front of a magnum but would you guys do it different?

454 block dropped off with milidon splayed mains, the block ended up being a 2 bolt really low mile block. Why a big block? just cuz i feel like it

Ordering 300cc oval port AFR's this week, hopefully a big order from no-limit while i'm gone on this deployment.

heads are home safe and sound, not a lot of progress made beside laying out what i think my build plan is and listing stuff to start knocking off. Been slammed trying to get the bronco finished up. I'm deployed currently and with nothing better to do i played out what i'm thinking for the rest so far, getting prices kinda figured out so i can start budgeting out big purchases. If you guys have any recommendations feel free to chime in

thanx for encouragement, lol after building my bronco i am sick of buying things twice so a good build plan i can look at helps at least with me. especially with budget. now do i think i can afford a 8000 dollar hill born system ANYTIME soon? hell no but a carb and intake is a few hundred bucks till i can. BUT i will get the no-limit stuff as soon as i can afford it along with the t56, hopefully early next year.
