I would not buy it if its a tall deck truck motor. Get the casting numbers and you can tell for sure.

1971ls1longbed · 10-24-2010, 11:50 PM

its out of an early 70s stake body truck

djracer · 10-25-2010, 08:10 AM

Its a tall deck I would stay away. A454 shouldn't be that hard to come by.

1971ls1longbed · 10-27-2010, 01:11 AM

does anyone have a good set of heads for sale

getbent · 10-27-2010, 09:22 PM

dart iron eagle 308,s jmo should produce plenty

1971ls1longbed · 10-28-2010, 12:16 AM

ok ill look into iron eagles any other options

ripdog28 · 10-28-2010, 02:23 AM

I have not touched my Dart 308cc and i can not get the 30in tall BFG Drag radials to hook at anything under 50MPH. For the $$ im glad i got them. David Vizzard uses these on a lot of builds with crazy results. You also need to figure the brackets and other stuff for a BBC if you dont have it in your budget. Gets expensive fast. But is well worth it.

Well if you're using them then they will definitely work for my build. As far as a cam goes i was looking to do a hyd roller setup any recommendations on duration and lift

ripdog28 · 10-28-2010, 10:58 AM

My cam is small but nasty with this set up. I have been told by a very reputable builder (Wolfsplace, AKA Mike Lewis) these heads like to go with a mid 240 int and a 250+exh. So 10+ separation. Lift depends on your Springs and the pistons you end up with. All honesty, if you want serious power call up Vortech pro. Best bang for the buck unless you want to build it. IMO, i would have went with him if i found him before building mine. I dont regret getting mine but he would have saved me some $$. Also figure a roller will set you back $1000 Springs, lifters, cam.

djracer · 10-29-2010, 06:00 PM

My buddy runs one on his street car.

1971ls1longbed · 10-30-2010, 11:57 AM

Well today is the day! In just a few short hours i will be picking up my 454 shortblock

djracer · 10-30-2010, 01:48 PM

once you go big block you never go back

djracer · 11-01-2010, 07:16 AM

look for 781, 049 or 990 heads the first two are big oval ports and should be easier to find. The third set is a closed chamber square port like came on original ls7's in Chevelle's, Corvette's and Nova's.

1971ls1longbed · 11-08-2010, 02:23 PM

hey guys can you give me some input on solid roller setup on the street as far as duration and lift ranges that are safe for 10:1 to 10.25:1 on 93 octane
