Thread: 454 build advice

Glenn beat me to a reply. He always gives sound advice.!! I did want to re-iterate that if you are going to do a rebuild than definitely keep your machinist in the loop and heed his advise if you can, if there's any issues later and you want him to warranty anything, he may tell you "I told you so"! My only other thought would be to not use any "thumper" cam. It's old technology to run a cam with that much valve overlap and actually hurts performance for the street. A lot of folks call them "Poser" cams. All sound, no go.

I can't say I've known anyone to do a 90's wagon.. so it'll be different for sure. Oh, we also have a high requirement of pictures! So don't be bashful!! LOL

Thanks for your advice!! I appreciate it and will work close with the machinist. I'll look at the post for how to attach pics...
