Your Thoughts On This Engine In EVERYDAY Street-Use?
I don't know if this is exactly the right place to get asking this question (if not, could you please direct me to another forum?), but I'm looking for some of your "expert" thought on the use of this engine in EVERYDAY street use:
Here's the rundown:
GM 454 H.O. Crate Engine
Add Ons:
825-cfm Mighty Demon
Edelbrock Victor Jr. Intake
Performance Distributors D.U.I.
Vortech Supercharger
Crane Hydraulic-Roller Cam
(230/236 degrees at .050 - .598/.610 intake/exhaust lift)
Crane Hydraulic-Roller Lifters
Crane Valvesprings
Power Output:
779 Horsepower
706 Lb-Ft Torque
Basically, like I said, your thoughts?
Idle quality, etc, etc...
I love this engine, because with the exception of the camshaft, lifters, and springs, it's a bolt together operation that makes ungodly power, should last a long time, and runs on pump gas.
You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
