Big block bits: what to do? What to do?

[clutchdust]

A few years back I bought a 454 off a Criagslist ad. Gave $125 for two pair of heads, the block and piston/rods, no crank. Turns out the pistons are forged .030 TRWs and one set of heads are 336781 castings. The block was already .030 but would need at least another .010 to clean up the bores. I ended up giving up the block and a set of "peanut" heads to the machine shop but kept the 336781 heads and piston/rods. Turns out the heads are, as I suspected, one of the better hi-po open chamber heads.
So the question is, do I keep this stuff and eventually build a hi-po 454? I don't actually have anything to put it in but it's a 454. Who cares?
Or do I sell off the parts for as much or more than what I gave?

Your as bad as me. I just keep making more projects for myself.

If you don't have a vehicle ready to drop this into, I would sell the stuff.

Buy one a those 80-85 rx=7's and drop that rat into lol.

No, can't see a big rat motor in an RX-7. The weight kind of defeats the purpose. If I don't end up finding an old vette to drop it in I'm thinking about my boat, where it wouldn't care that much about the additional weight. Imagine the look on other boater's faces when a 30 year old flybridge blasts past them at 40 knots!

Imagine how fast that gasoline goes from the tank, you will have to vent it to keep it from collapsing with fuel suction....
