Vortec 454/4L80e HD swapped 1999 Tahoe OBS

[Snowbound]

I wonder if you can punch it out and use the GM 8.1/496 rotating assembly in that block otherwise I prob wouldnt bother spending big money on stroker kit.
Just reuse the crank and rods...grab a nice set of higher compression pistons. Put some good springs on the heads and nice specd cam.

My fbody/ls friends have a guy that builds most of their engines but he loves big blocks might have some good info when you're ready

8.1 is a tall deck. Has the same bore as the rat block 454 but a longer stroke to get the cubes. Different firing order too but that can be changed with the camshaft.

Bahaha just a tad! We finally got it in the back of a 95 Ram 1500... that thing was squatting like crazy

Think your 1500 suspension can handle that weight?

Shoulda been clearer. Will the 99 burb being swapped into be able to handle this big engine?

Haha I know what you meant. It should. It’s not a massive weight difference.

Side note... told my fiancé that I can’t wait to have my Side Hoe back! She laughed and glared at me. Come to find out, Side Hoe comes out to 7 letters, which will fit on a license plate. Checked FL DMV, and SIDEHOE is available

No one be taking my idea!
