What kind of air cleaner does a 454 engine use?
I would also go to a Banks exhaust and KN air cleaner if I still had the coach. The 454 is a great engine. Our 1989 Southwind (454 engine, 32′) made the trip from Denver to the Grand Canyon just fine last year and has been very reliable for the last 3 years we’ve owned it.
Is the 454 engine a good RV engine?
The 454 is a great engine. Our 1989 Southwind (454 engine, 32′) made the trip from Denver to the Grand Canyon just fine last year and has been very reliable for the last 3 years we’ve owned it. We love the coach and don’t think we need to upgrade anytime soon.
Can a 454 take you on that trip?
Can a 454 take you on that trip– absolutely. The only HAVE TO other than routine maintenance is to change the BRAKE FLUID. Old/hydrated brake fluid boils at under 300 degrees F– new fluid around 500 degrees. Loosing your brakes in the mountains is not when to decide to change the brake fluid.
Are there any problems with my 454 c.i.engine?
The only problem I’ve had with mine is a small power steering fluid leak, which I plan on fixing this winter. Actually, the formula for descending any grade is to downshift until you find a gear that will hold your speed in EQUILIBRIUM– you are neither accelerating nor decelerating WITHOUT USING YOUR SERVICE BRAKES (brake pedal).
What kind of engine does a GM 454 have?
Loosing your brakes in the mountains is not when to decide to change the brake fluid. BTW, our Foretravel is a 1993 with 157,000 miles. Joe, as Brett may have already said, Welcome to the Forum. The GM 454 (7.4) is a great engine. The basic engine is a real workhorse.
What kind of fuel system did the 1980 Chevy 454 use?
A M4MC or EM4MC carburetor was used on most of the 1980 series engines. This is an aspirated fuel delivery system with the addition of a mixture control system controlled by the ECM.
How does the fuel pump work in a 454 engine?
It pumps fuel to the throttle body and the direct fuel injector system through the fuel supply line and then through an in-line fuel filter. The pump is designed to provide pressurized fuel at 125 kPa (18psi.) A pressure regulator in the TBI keeps fuel available to the injectors at a constant pressure between 62 and 90 kpa. (9 to 13psi.)
