Id really like to do this build... and well since I cant get on the list for the block now I figured id gather as much information as possible. Beside the block what am I lookin at purchasing, head wise? What going to fit, Id love to have 600hp n/a around, and thinkin a 454 small block will be sufficient to give me room to play later on. Any info on doing this will help, tia guys

 

I think Mark(2004Denali) is working on this build and slowly gathering pieces.

 

The part number is 19166454. Current list on it is 2500.00. Dealer cost is 1750.00. Wholesale/trade is 2125.00.

 

Id go with the L92 heads

 

ok so l92 heads would be the most sufficient? i know how much it cost and all that, im just lookin for best build, what will i have to rewire, cam specs, anything in particular different then when i did my 6.0 swap basically.

 

I'd look into LS7 heads and intake with a bore that big.

 

what about the factory ls7 intake? could that even be adapted?
or what do u suggest?

 

I would get more info on the LS7 based LSX 6-Bolt heads, including when they will be available, prior to purchasing any heads. I wouldn't worry about cam specs until you have the rotating assembly in hand... as in committed to how big the motor will be. With an expectation of 600 N/A crank (or rear wheel for that matter) I would also be thinking about how much you will budget to fortify the rest of the drivetrain. Just some thoughts

14bolt is goin in the rear most likely unless I decide on a ford 9" and a 4l80e, but right now i dont want to put it on a budget, but I dont want to spend as much as I can either... lets say like 8000 or less for complete motor itself, see what I can do that. What is the news of the release for those...

 

Hey GMRacer, you go to school with my buddy jeremy at fitchburg dont you? hes told me about your truck and i was like hey i know that truck from performancetrucks.net lol
