Looks like you got a great boat anchor. Even if it was a bigger engine, a tall deck big block won't fit under the hood of a C3 unless you use an aftermarket hood.

Also, other than maybe the crankshaft, there's not a lot inside an HD truck engine that's useful in a performance application. The pistons are really heavy, four-ring units. The cylinder heads are not a good performance choice.

I'd take it back and tell the guy who sold it what happens to folks who misrepresent 366es and 454s.

OK, after further deliberation, you could always give yourself a new
project, and reinstall the motor into the school bus and restore it to
"numbers matching" condition. :L:L:L
