I have this 1996 Chevrolet 454 big block V8It is a Mark Vl or as some people call them Gen 6 This engine has 4 bolt mains, roller cam shaft, one piece rear main seal and full size oval port heads. The crankshaft is still standard journal size and has its factory fitted bearings. I pulled #1 main cap and big end cap and the crank looked good. The block is standard bore size. Two cylinders have had some water in them from when the engine was left uncovered while in the USA. there are some minor pit marks in those cylinders, but it's not bad and will easily clean up when the engine is rebuilt. The engine turns over freely The engine comes as you see it in the photos, a bare long motor with no bolt on accessories and is bolted back together ready to be freighted. It is missing two push rods and one rocker arm and bolt. This engine would make a great base for a killer big block. I can freight the engine Australia wide.
