I know who you are!!. seen you all over the internet. Nice to see you come on this board to advertise. You are the #1 big block builder for bringing every bit of power out of a big block
without breaking the bank. Your builds are incredible in my book.
Thanks, you might not know but I'am moving to Georgetown Tx

For not looking to make all the power in the world, that engine is nothing to laugh at.
Over 500 ft/lbs from somewhere in the 2000's and 493 horsepower is damn fine for a "smooth idle" engine built with some old stock GM parts.

I am sure there is loads of knowledge that helps when putting the parts together that helps as well...

Nice work sir.
Damn nice.
Thanks Catbox, I will let you know how it runs at the track!

This is probably one of the cleanest engine builds I have ever seen! I have the Holley version of that intake manifold that I pulled off my engine from it's cheater stock pulling days. Thinking about saving it for a rainy day project. Pretty impressive numbers out of your build!

Now I have a bunch of reading to do.
I have read your stuff before and I like it.

I will be putting a set of L-29 heads on the 454 in my truck in the near future.
First I have to either do a ****** rework on them in the garage or have a machine shop go through them if they are beyond a quick and dirty cleanup.
