Re: Carb conversion for Gen6 454?
It's a good engine. Roller rockers. Plenty of torque, and you can run them up to about five grand and be safe doing so. The only downfall with them is you have to do some head work on them if you want to put a bigger cam in them. The valve springs have to be modified. Mine snorted pretty good with the m1 cam. It was plenty for me.
Unfortunately, I blew the valve train on mine last week.....bummer deal, but you play you pay. Haha. I bought a truck with a tonawanda gen five in it. The old 84 will have a new heartbeat again soon I recommend the gen six roller engines. They're pretty tough, and you can get 12-14 mpg with them. I actually owned the donor truck mine came out of, and you can't beat em. |
