1990 454ss project..

[AtomicHoe094]

Just picked her up yesterday. Needs a paint job, sticking with black paint this time needs some motor work as you can see. ill end up redoing the exhaust. upholstery is all there, but i need to do some updating and such. looking into getting a tonneau cover for it. It has a GM goodwrench cowl hood. crappy red wire loom. idk. should be loads of fun. Getting the truck in the 12s would be sick for the 1/4 mile.. The hoe has some competition to say the least. SBC with a whipple VS BBC with bolt ons






saggy headliner and visors? no worries, i own an Upholstery shop


edelbrock shorties.. soon to be gone


chrome alternator?? taylor wires. shorties, more edelbrock stuff. valve covers, time chain covers, polished underdrive pullies.


interior

Man that thing looks pretty clean. Cant wait to see it when its done

 

[Brandon X]

I've always wanted one of those. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

 

[AtomicHoe094]

haha thanks fellas. 62,000 miles on her. frame is pretty clean, but it'll be so clean so i can eat off that shit when im done with her. lol

4/6drop sound good?? I need to get some bigger meats for the back as well.

I love those trucks and that thing is pretty solid to start with! Most of the ones around me are beat up and rusty and it makes me sad Are you going to keep her rolling on her 454SS rims or are you switching that out too? I really like the 454SS rims personally especially with a 4/6 drop....

 

[AtomicHoe094]

hell yea keeping those rims! haha. Shes verrry solid. no rust what so ever. its been stashed in a garage for more then 11 yrs.

Damn man, me and you have been side by side on everything! no fords i mean turds, ss trucks, G8s, grand prixs..

Throw a big block 8.1L in there! :evil:

 

[07Burb]

More aftermarket and go fast parts for the 454, though, isn't there? From what I understand there isn much in the way of go fast goodies for the 8.1 cuz it was around for a relatively short period of time.

 

[gdddup]

thats nice man ive always wanted one of them trucks

 

[Tahoewhat]

Nice. But first thing, put the tail lights on the floor board, on the truck. Add the others to your big for sale thread. ha ha. Otherwise looks like a good find. Friend has one of them.

 

[killer20072001]

Oh that thing is sweet. Except that interior ive never been a big fan of red interior, but always a big fan of obs 2 door trucks.

 

[07Burb]

You can't have a 454SS without the red interior man!!!

 

[AtomicHoe094]

You can't have a 454SS without the red interior man!!!

haha well atleast the 1990 ones.. you could get gray in the other years. but thats it.. Im not a huggge fan of red since the plastics usually never tend to match, but this one looks to be alright for now..


Tahoewhat- what do you mean tails on the floor???

big block 454 swapped to a big block 8.1. Keeping it with the big block theme. But no, you would more than likely destroy the 454 with an LS-based 8.1, especially with an intercooled whipple sitting on deck.

thats nice man

Red interior is sweet. Just have to get used to it. I have red interior in my gto, takes a little to get used to, but looks good. LIke someone said, thats what makes a 454.. ha ha..

The tail lights on the floor in the pic of the interior, in the plastic bags. lol. I just dont like altezza lights. They look cheap to me. Unless you candy them.
But nice truck, looks to be in really good shape. Ones down here are usually tore up.

Yeah I've seen a few ('93 I think) that were white with he blue interior but I'd much rather the black with red interior!
