A set of small chamber edelbrock heads and performer rpm will wake that engine up.
Is there any truth that if the block has a HP stamped in block above the oil filter it could be a 4 bolt main block? Or do you pretty much have to pull the pan and inspect? I guess I could drain oil and stick the bore scope up in the drain hole.Stick that camera in the spark plug hole and I bet you find a flat top piston. So a head like the 100-110 cc Edelbrock will be a big help for compression. The heads like has been said are nothing special. They are for a truck. The block, at least the majority of the 445's I have done were 4 bolt blocks so you may have lucked out there. Not that a 2 bolt is of any concern in this application.
I’m not concerned about those heads, I planned on a set of aluminum heads from the start.😉 it looking like I could have a four bolt main block, now that’s awesome!😆79ish peanut ports heads......sell them to MrSony..................
Well this one is stamped “HP” also the number (27) close by.I believe all 454 Mark IV's blocks were stamped Hi Perf
The stampings are hit or miss. Some 4 bolt blocks had a large oil port by the filter for a cooler. Otherwise no tell tale sign I am aware of.Well this one is stamped “HP” also the number (27) close by.
Would that large port have a big plug screwed into to block flush? If so this block has it, I seen it and was wondering what it was for?The stampings are hit or miss. Some 4 bolt blocks had a large oil port by the filter for a cooler. Otherwise no tell tale sign I am aware of.
I think the 2 bolt has 1 3/8npt fitting, 4 bolt has 2Would that large port have a big plug screwed into to block flush? If so this block has it, I seen it and was wondering what it was for?
This was a real big plug in the block, not like a frost plug. I thought it kind odd that it was there.I think the 2 bolt has 1 3/8npt fitting, 4 bolt has 2
