Default Re: 396/375 cam for street 454?

353049 or 356781 both are pretty much interchangable...smog pick-up truck OC Oval port heads. [OC is the only way to go...]

Just put big valves in 'em and go run high 10's.. The heads on my 496 in my GTO came off a 454 that ran high 10's and had never been ported, just unshrouded..

Wilma knows Nelson, my engine guy [he built my 496, my L-88 and my brothers 454] and another place for ultra solid advice is team Chevelle. Those guys won't steer you an inch off course..I'm 'L-78 Guy' over there....

Jim,

Can Nelson perform the larger valve installation and the
unshrouding you mentioned when I find a set of these heads?
I would rather go with someone that is well versed in this.

Lastly, I was planning on doing this to a 402 + 0.040 L/34
that is just waiting for something like this to happen. Do
you see any issues with valve unshrouding aginst that bore?


Steve
