RE: [Chevelle-List] '73 454 out of pick up?

[John C. Butler]

I'll tell if this is true in about a hour, I pulled the 454 BB on Sunday and will drop it off at the motor man at Noon today, it has the pipe fitting on the side like you described. I'll measure the fitting and let you know when we pull the pan.....BTW the numbers on the block are 3999289 and the heads are 353049.   JB -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Craig A.

I heard the other day that the way you spot a 4 bolt is by the pipe thread fitting just above the oil filter mounting. If it's 3/8", it's a 2 bolt. If it's 1/2 ", it's a four bolt. Remember, pipe thread fittings are large and a 3/8 fittings LOOK like 1/2, etc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of jfg69 Sent: Monday, September 09, 2002 1:29 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Chevelle-List] '73 454 out of pick up?     I haven't seen it yet, but I wanted to get a consensus as to what it might be worth? I don't have any ID numbers off it yet, just that it's out of a wrecked 73 pickup w/ 83K on it. I cant imagine it being a 4 bolt block, or even any kind of hi-po engine..just a typical 73 240/250 HP.   jerry
