Well like o said for right now I mainly just need to know the basics. I like to know every spec on any motor I dig into. The first 454 will be pretty much a refreshed stocker like I'd said. Honestly didn't even think about the oil pump ......I remember reading that a high volume can actually wash out the bearings causing metal on metal

Its marketing, the stock style pump works just fine.

I have the :
How to Build Max Performance Chevy Rat Motors: Hpt Rodding Big-Block Chevys (S-A Design) by Ed Staffel

and

How to Hotrod Big-Block Chevys by John Thawley

Both of these are a little dated but cover the basics. There is a ton more stuff available now like cheaper 496 kits and imported aluminum heads.
