Thanks - hopefully I can find some oval port heads, intake, and cam package on a budget.
Just did not know if there were "simple" things other then part swaps to help bump up the HP without not much work. Porting, rocker swap...etc... that realy woke up a stock big block?
I have a MSD digital 6 and will use the stock HEI distributor. My headers are OVER KILL big time.... I bought them with the intent of having a 540 BBC and they were big for that motor. Now with a 454 not sure if they will help or hurt over cast manifolds......2 1/8 or 1/4 primary and 4.5" collector. Cannons man, but I went with them think I will lose some torque down low but gain HP up high - what the stock BBC lacks. Think the motor is rated at 250 hp.
Also any one know if the front left sending unit near the pin is oil pressure? and can that be taken out for a mechanical guage hookup without needing anything else?
