Hello all, i am in the planning process of building a 454 bbc. This is my first engine build, so i am trying to soak up as much information as i can. I'm looking at building something between 400-500 hp. I'm planning on dropping this in my '66 C10.

I'm looking for help with this build. I've been reading a great deal on big block builds, but nothing beats networking! I'm hoping someone can assist me with what to put in this build.

ok, here are the questions. I originally wanted to start with a new block, but i can't seem to find one for less than $2k. I also really like the sound of thumpr cams, so does anyone know much about them?

Long story short, i have no idea what to put in this motor, and am looking for some guidance. Any and all help would be much appreciated!
