454 build
Hey guys, i have a 79 454 out of a suburban(4 bolt, stock bore, 125000 miles), I'm going to build it for my 78 Chevy short bed for street and occasional strip usage. My goal is at least 500hp, would like to be closer to 600hp range but my budget isn't unlimited. I've build a few sbc's, this will be my first BB. I was wondering if anybody had an easy and inexpensive recipe for me to achieve my goal and tear up Woodward ave.:
My plan was a balanced rotating assembly from scat or eagle for a 496,
A big hyd roller cam set from comp or edelbrock,
Not sure on heads.. might have to go cast iron for budget purposes
If anybody has any tips or ideas.. you know what to do
(i know this probably isn't the first post for a BB build but i was tired of searching) THANKS!!
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
