    Good find for $1000? 1995 c2500HD 454

    I am the second owner and the 1st owner seems to have taken good care of it. I will pull the engine and do a rebuild at some point So I can put on some higher compression pistons and port the peanut heads to flow acceptably

    How different is the 1994/5 TBI 454 from the older models?

    do you think the motor would handle the boost well? it already out tows the 6.5 so all im going for with the turbo is fuel economy

    I know that the fuel pressure is 26-32 PSI which is much higher than the pre 1994's ~14 PSI. are there any other major differences? I am looking at turbocharging it for better power and fuel economy in the mountains around my area, so I need to know how it will react to around 7psi of boost. all...

    High compression heads on a TBI 454

    Hello, I have put together a build list for my 1993 c2500 with a TBI 454. I figure the abysmal compression ratio could be boosted to make more power and improve economy.
