454 Long Block - El Cheapo, Part 3
Another refugee from the 350 was the junkyard HEI distributor--it’s one of few items that interchange between the two engines. We were able to reuse the small-block’s lower alternator bracket, thermostat housing, fan belt, and plug wires; we also salvaged a few pipe plugs and bolts. The 454 takes different attaching hardware in most places,the water pumps and pulleys are different, and so is the fuel-pump blockoff plate. The El Camino uses a Carter electric fuel pump instead of a mechanical pump. View Related Article
