Re: help building 93 454
about the same cost to go 80-100 over as 30 over and its the free cubic horsepower game

Re: help building 93 454
The head selection depends on what you want to do with this motor. K5 I assume you just need big torque and stay under 5500 rpm. The 236 peanut port heads will yield impressive torque but run out of air above 5500 rpm. Put some dome pistons in around +20 cc to bump compression around 10:1, intake and headers, a ROLLER cam around 270 duration with .500 lift and you will be set!

1993 would have been a TBI engine. Might not have provisions to mount a mechanical fuel pump.

Re: help building 93 454
of course porting and polishing will help. Wont be cheap. Search this site for porting and polishing peanut port heads.
