Greetings. I know nothing about engines or cars so excuse my ignorance. I have a tailgate vehicle that is a 1976 Chevy Silverado with the 454 engine. This vehicle was an old rescue vehicle that was hardly used. It now has 28,000 miles on the original engine. That is not a typo, only 28,000 miles. Since the vehicle is only used for football games it will not get more than 300 miles put on it yearly. I bought this vehicle very cheap, less than a grand. If the truck should crap out and it is not related to the engine would it be worth salvaging the engine? Again, I know nothing about cars but I thought someone may want that big ass engine. Thanks for the help.

As long as you changed all the fluids the engine should last quite a while.

As far as it being worth anything. Everything's worth something, but it's certainly no collectors item.

You could easily sell the engine to someone who likes to build Street Rods.. 454's are a great engine and con produce a lot of power, especially with today's advancements.
