Just learning about Big Block Chevy's.
Hello fellow Big Block owners.
I have a few questions about two Big Blocks I have.
First I have a 2000 model 454 Vortech one piece rear main seal. I was wondering about these Vortech heads. Question is will they make any h/p at the drag strip. I heard they were only about 230 cfm on intake and have small valves. I may just rebuild this engine with a mild cam and use it in my half tone pu to pull the car and trailer.
Second engine I have is an 80's model 454 two piece rear main. I have a eagle light weight crank, trw 13.5 to 1 comp pistons, factory deck height, 781 heads with factory valves, 540 lift cam and a 650 lift cam, gear drive timing set, air gap intake, and 850 holly carb double pumper. Possible turbo some day. Have to lower the comp to do turbo. I have mostly dealt with Small blocks. 600 hp is my goal. Can I make this with what I have.
on small cars yes. but fat fender cars are pretty much the same in size and weight as the donor car. i found s10 brakes work great on fat fender and pickups. a deuce will just need manual brakes...
Time for brakes
