    454 peanut head cam change fun.

    Thank you. Here is a pic of the heads. Can you tell me if all these springs have rotators (the mini cage)?

    Also it looks like I have oval port heads and not peanut port due to the casting number. 14081045

    454 peanut head cam change fun.

    Howdy all! After much deliberation, I think I’ve chosen to go with a Howard’s roller cam set for my 85 454. Howard’s recommends some springs so I’ll get those and then get the pushrods that fit. I would like to use factory rockers if possible. Thoughts? One note on summit is that someone...

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    I wonder if this setup would be better than the lunati? https://www.ebay.com/itm/351520210686?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=imvHdYYTTW-&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=fIuQPn2LQ72&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    Thanks. I’m not worried about new push rods, I’m just curious if this is pushing the limits of causing valve damage. Lunati edelbrock told me it would work… ‍♂️

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    Thank you. I’m afraid of flat tappets because of so called quality issues. My buddy says go roller but they are more pricey.

    454 getting pulled from suburban.. new cam?

    Howdy all! I’m building an 85 suburban and it has a 454 with about 90k miles. We are pulling the engine tomorrow and are going to do a complete reseal. I would like to add a cam to give it more power but am not sure what to go with. It will be a daily driver, th400 trans, b&m torque converter...

    C20 suburban lowering issues

    I’m running kyb gas adjust too on the front. Maybe they are too stiff?

    C20 suburban lowering issues

    Made a big decision today. We are going to pull the motor, reseal it, add Holley sniper and new intake, and a 1900-2200 stall converter.

    C20 suburban lowering issues

    The measurements have the front lower than the rear by 1/8 inch but the fender openings are bigger resulting in a bit of an optical illusion. Wonder if these coils will settle at all?
