    yes it in the truck in my avatar. here is a vid of the burnout comp where I blew the locker and snapped the markes adaptor. it wouldnt let the clutch fully disengage so would fry the clutch in 3rd. you can see the smoke in the inner grd as we come off the line and pull 3rd. tried to pull 3rd again a bit into the skid and it smokes again. Thanks to Murray for the vids.


    this is widow maker at g/house mtns in the 454.


    this is my old td42t up widow maker. May it RIP. had some great times in this old girl......


    the difference between a 350 and a 454 is huge torque. from my experience, being 1 350 gq and 1 454 gq. the torque of a 454 is huge, the torque curve goes straight up almost from idle. not a massive difference in HP but i will be changing that. the same torque if not more as a very nice td42t ( i have had 1 as well) but just mass power on top of that. feels like i am forever fixing it so it is going auto with a few more bits as well. dont get me wrong i only went 454 as it was a very cheap purchase as the guy needed the $$. i was VERY VERY happy with my 350, hardly ever put a spanner on it.
