454 Build Up
Ive got a gen 6 454 with the L29 heads. I plan on stroking the engine later on but for now my plans are to put in a comp cam XR282HR cam(230/236@.050/ .510/.510) air gap intake, holley 870 carb, with 2'' headers and dual exhaust. Ive got a th400 with an edge racing 3000 stall converter and 3.90 rear gear. Any idea what this motor will make as far as power using stock heads, bottom end etc. Compression will be 9:1. Also its going in a 88 RCSB truck full weight.
The head flow is .100 63/49 .200 121/91 .300 165/120 .400 198/133 .500 226/140 .600 242/142
Just wanting an idea of the truck will run for now.
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. ...
