Hi my name is Ken. I am new to this site. I have been watching for a while and you guys seem to really know your stuff and I could use some help. I am working on a 454 out of and 84 suburban and I'm not sure if I can use the same Pistons valve springs and etc. with a bigger cam and bigger carb. Motor had about 60,000 miles on it and it had an oil cooler transmission cooler and everything looks to be in very good shape. It's been in about 30 years since I worked on a motor other than changing parts just to keep the daily driver going. Well now my kids are older, and I have a little more time and a couple extra bucks to do what I want. So building a hot rod is what I want to do.

Thanks for any help. It's really appreciated
