I did not find that my 89 R3500 4bbl or 88 k3500 tbi454 motors we overall great power house rigs. Think most of it was tall gearing in th400 trans. No low end get up and go. The 88 had better overall throttle response and pulling power.
My 81 292 4 so Muncie could out pull both of the 454s getting loads moving or get up steeper grades. Probably due to that low first gear in trans.
Freeway wise the 454s were good. If I could get the load moving.
I personally prefer the 88-2000 body style.
That truck is a nice find. A beefed up 700r4 would be a good trans to change out the th400 from. Lower first gear, and an OD to boot!
