Im building a 69 Chevelle street car. Looking for a motor until I came up on a LS7 454 GM crate motor brand new (0 miles) still in crate, purchased in the late 80's.
The price is a little more than its retail back then, but reasonable.

The person is asking $5,000. . . .

My concern is the power, can it run on pump gas, & is the compression too high !


PLEASE ANYONE WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THIS MOTOR REPLY< YOU HELP AND KNOWLEDGE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

If It was me, I'd spend the $5000 on a new Hi-po 454, 425hp. crate engine, and be ALOT more streetable.
Plus it would probably come with some kind of warranty.
Don't the crate engines have a warranty with them?
