    Default 186 to a 454

    hello all people on here. I have a vb comadore and could i put in it a 454 big blok from a chev? It has 14" mag wheels and a good diff. Wat modifkations do i need to do to make it fit in it propaly? I can get this moter for 700$. But it needs new pisotons in it. Thanks for any help. Ben.

    2.8 litre 6 cylinder brakes, suspension and diff will last about 5 mins. plus you need different trans, wiring, etc, its not just a bolt in job mate.

    Triple what?? he he

    you might find one for duals.
    but then again, the aftermarket wouldn't have been raging like wildfire with R&D for the starfire 4 lol

    I've searched all the parts catalogues and I cannot for the life of me, find any new pisotons.

    seriously, depending on your state, you might be able to get it engineered.
    i'm sure in QLD that it takes a few things ito consideration, vehicle mass is one.
    Contact your RTA for further details.
