I purchased TrickFlow's top end kit for my stock big block 454 Chevy (kit specs below).
Anyone want to give some much needed advice on what to do with the bottom end while I've got it out? Adding inches and/or porting is possible.
My problem is I don't know all the math involved to figure out a solid build. I'm a novice and a rebuild virgin but I ain't scared!
I need to be in the 500-600 horsepower range. Reliability is important. I'm snipping the bone stock 454 out to turn into a hotrod. This is a 1972 Monte with 4:11 rear end, gear vendors, Sniper EFI.
Top end kit specs:
Advertised Duration: 286 int./292 exh.
Valve Lift with Factory Rocker Arm Ratio: 0.600 int./0.600 exh
Also bought Edelbrock Torker 2 intake, 2.5" long headers, water pump, oil pump, awesome tall valve covers, balancer, and all of David Vizard's books.
Any advice or references to another build would be awesome!
Thanks!
