Thread: 454 Build Up

well it started as getting my truck back together but one thing led to another and i wanted to bore the block .030 over then i said if i do that i might as well stroke it. i plan to beef up the rear end and run the biggest slick that i can which i believe is 30'' tall and 13.5 wide. as far as the engine goes lunati has a hydraulic roller cam with 241/249@.050 with .612/.612 and using afr 305 heads or trick flow 280 oval ports do you think its possible? if not 11's at least close to 12 flat. do you think the afr 305 is too big for street use or will it work with my combo with a dual plane intake and 870 carb.

i think i talk to you about this build some time back ? i have cars that i built engines for that ran in the hi 11s not what many would call street cars .but we use that word loosly around here .i built a low dollar548 that could be run all over the street that ran 8.50 @ 155mph on engine .its not so much the engine its keeping the stall from going to lunch. my stuff is about as far as i can go on the street with out selling all your vital organs . to keep what i have working took a $1200.+ steel stator coan 9 inch stall and a coan super sprag $$. many parts that many just over look

Running a big slick like that where it's not needed is just going to add a lot of rolling resistance and slow it down.... With anything even resembling good suspension, you don't need anything bigger then a 10" or a 10.5" tire to run deep in the 10's.....

As far as suspension goes im going to try and run caltracs with a softer suspension and relocating fuel cell over rear axle. I run a 275/60/15 now. As far as engine build goes Id like to know if I can make at least 550 or a little more with the trickflow oval or brodix oval. The brodix is best bang for the buck with a 270cc runner for $958 each that flows
200-159/116 300-223/145 400-270/172 500-314/196 600-334/217
The trick flows close too that also. Im looking at the lunati hydraulic roller that is 241/249@.050 with .612/.612. Just wondering how this combo would work.

there alot of small things that can added up to more HP and some big things some engine builders look past . this engine shoud make 550 or more .on paper it will .i not sure about the brodix heads at one time they were some of the best you could buy last set the prep work could of been better $958 bare?$ 2222. loaded for hyd roller

they are brodix race rite oval 270 cc intake runner 119cc combustion chamber 2.25/1.88 assembled for .700 lift cam for $957.95 ea
