Would a 454 from a 1-ton truck be a short deck block if it was orginal. Not sure of model, I seen it listed in a clasified add.

The two I've had from 1 tons were short decks. As far as I know, the tall decks were in heavier trucks only, but I'm not positive. One of mine was from an 89 and I'm unsure of the other.

If it is a 454 it will be a short deck.. Only 366ci and tall deck 427s had the tall deck. Take a look at the water pump, it will be huge and the intake will have 2 thermostats (I think they all had 2?) It will also have TRUCK on the engine rather than PASS Good luck and enjoy

I agree Dean, as I am getting older I am trying to make educated purchases with the facts to get A handle on the impulse buying feeling. Just trying to decide weather I want to drive 3 hours to take a look with cash in hand when I feel I should be able to find something closer to home.

Thanks Nick

It most likely is a 454. It is true that 427 and 366 were the only tall decks. I have never seen a 366 or 427 in a pick-up. but you should still get the cast no.s
