I would post pictures but poor Sasha (that's what I named her) has been sitting outside for a while and was my dad's daily for years so she looks a bit rough.
First of all the first year 1990 was the dog of the series ,it only had a 3 speed turbo 400 trans . In 1991 and on they had an overdrive trans and were faster and got better fuel mileage . 1990 was the worst year of the SS454 truck. Take a look at what the performance numbers were with these pigs , 10 to 12 mpg and 15.8 1/4 mile OINK OINK OINK . ......http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...5lzfIUOSy3_xGg
