454 BBC 500hp!!!!!
first and foremost thanks guys for viewing my post.
this is the background, i just bought a 454 bbc that came out of a 83 c20 or c30 dually truck, i bought it for really cheap and i will like to throw it into my 1970 chevelle.
i have NO idea about mechanics, or how engines work, all i know is that i will like at least 500 hp out the engine, im not trying to build a drag racer or anything like that, i just want a weekend cruiser with a little "humph" at the street light, i need your help because i have no idea what im doing ive never work on any car and i want to get it done right the first time.
so please please if you could guide me in doing this the right directions and maybe if could show me the steps on how i can get this motor to pump out 500 hp, maybe some model numbers & prices i i will greatly appreciated it.
the block i am working with is this.
UBA = 83 ,454 ,from C-20 & C-30 Truck , 230hp ,RPO code LE-8 ,w/Manual Trans , 4-Brl
thanks alot guys i really appreciated.

Well Square port heads. at least 2.19 1.88 valves.
what block casting number is it. Hopefully it is not a tall deck block
Give me the casting numbers of the heads too take valve covers off to see them
11-1 compression with a lumpy cam and 2 inch primary headers.
more info and i can help.

Your not asking for much, thats pretty easy to do with pump gas. I had a 454 with edelbrock performer heads and flat tops make 601 at the fly wheel with 93 in the tank.
Stay with a smaller cam, all your power is in the heads.

i say between 9 to 9.5 compression go ahead and put a roller cam in it will be way more reliable and a descent set of heads and like ^^^ he said stay with a relatively small runner people will try to talk you into huge runners but unless your building a wild motor they will just make you have no bottom end at all

Definitely want open chamber. Aluminum for weight since BBC heads are boat anchors. Patriot makes a decent set of square port heads on ebay. and they barely outflow a big oval port head like 700 bux and i think you can get them assembled complete like 1100. ME personally if it is going to see some street time then go with a hydraulic roller conversion. Unless you like adjusting lash all the time go with a mech roller. But you dont seem like the type.
