ummmm....big block
Secretly I was hoping to see a Toyota big block - I saw one about 10 years ago at a Toyota salvage yard. The guy had just gotten it in from Japan out of some limo. But I was more infatuated with the $700 running, titled FJ40 he was selling me! Why did I sell that thing?
Anyway back on topic...That rig looks great.
You know what they say. "There is no replacement for displacement"

If I owned that truck I'd drive through parking lots revving it to see how many car alarms I could set off. I'd also find a way to move that front axle about 5 inches further forward or you will be digging into the firewall big time on flex.

very cool sounds fun but remember that lt1 has distribitor on the front by the crank pulley and is very sensitive to water but has a lot of power i have a 94 cadillac with a lt1 pushing around 450 horsepower very good engines but drive through water and start pushin sometimes tpi is real reliable around water and are very tourqe up to around 4500 rpms with around 285 horse power stock good luck with what ever you decide

I'm still gonna need some photographic, or video evidence to confirm that really is a 454Big Block Chevy in that tiny engine bay.
I've seen the pics of the motor, but now I need to see it put the power down. I need to see those 37's smoking!!!
