Thanks y'all. Ill look then up and see what they can do for me.
Though today I got an offer I can't refuse, I might be going back over the road aka "long haul" trucking. Gone 3 weeks, home 4 days kind of thing. Ill still be doing my other business, my current primary job just sucks. Anyway, i appreciate all the info and will definitely post a thread on my adventure of the 454, though a 502 with solid cam does sound intriguing

When Im gone on the road Im thinking about keeping the car on jack stands, or will it be fine on the tires as long as i keep it in the garage on the concrete?

The above statements are only true, if one were to use stock heads and cam. If your serious about building a big block, I would recommend finding a different forum. There are a lot of knowledgeable people on corvetteforum and Chevelles .com that know big blocks. If it were me, I would stick with the LSx platform for the camaro. My point is never underestimate a BBC. I've seen many hot, even FI, LS engines get their butt handed to them by a well built BBC. |

Having done a good handful of GM 502 crate engines in hotrods;.... 95' Impala, 87' C10, 67 Impala.. etc. they run but they are turds in today's standards. The 87' C10 we swapped the intake and did a little cam. It made something like 500 ft lbs of torque and 470 rwhp.

Also yes I am dreaming, BUT, I have the means to actually go through with it. Timing is crucial seeing as this is my daily driver. Ill need to have all the engine work done within a day, two days at the most.
