Maybe you can get it out if you notch it and turn it with a large srew driver or use an air chisel to get it going..

The 454 is a good, strong, low-stress engine. Mileage will be terrible, especially if you put your foot in it. I have a 1985 Chevy C30 Silverado Dooley that is in phenomenally good shape. 350 engine, TH400 tranny, 4.10 gear. I get 10 MPG on a good day. But it's great! I can pull a car behind it and not even know its back there. Get the Chevy truck!!! :bigok:
