Hello everyone, I'm looking for a new motor for a "jeep", well it used to be a jeep thing but i broke most of that stuff. recently lost compression on my 305 and since im getting into it anyway I want some big block power to step up to 44's and have seen budget builds of older n/a 454's for under 2500 putting out in the 500hp close to 600 ft/lbs with not much more than cam and heads, intake/ehaust, but going carb is a concern for extreme angles. been trying to look into a 7.4 vortec but the stock numbers don't seem very impressive and i haven't been able to find a reasonable budget build up and the additional electronics and sensors are a concern. so my questions are is there a good TBI system that can support 500 hp on a gen V or older 454, or is there an easy budget friendly way to get close to those numbers with a newer vortec? im not looking for a complete cheap junkyard build (went that way with the 305 and regretted it) but would really like to stay under around 2k. mounting/tranny etc are not a concern at the moment.
