Hi!
I purchased a '74 Chevy Camper Special with a 454 (some work done to the motor, 30 over bore, rv cam and a few other things by previous owner and runs very, very smooth). I paid 2400CDN for the entire pick-up truck and will be able to sell off the rest for salvage as it is a bucket.

I have bought this with the intensions of swaping the motor into my '76 Stingray.
Now i get the feeling that I may have paid a little too much so before I get into my wallet I need your advice.

What might be considered the best option for someone looking for power but not wanting to put too big of a dent in his

1. Tune the 454.
2a. Turn the 454 motor into a stroker 496.
2b. Buy a bare 454 block and then start from scratch making it a 496 stroker.

If you chose the stroker then is it smarter for me to sell off the pickup considering the money it cost me and using that money to start off from scratch.

THANKS TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR REPLIES
