gen V BBC swap...

[Tavi]

guys, im only using a gen v block and crank. everything else will be aftermarket.
nice hbeam rods
flat top 10:1 pistons
115cc chamber aluminum heads
hyd roller cam & valve train..

600 will not be hard to come by that way.

The gen V block itself IS the limiting factor. Although mark IV, gen VI and after market heads will all physically bolt up. The water passages were different. Causing coolant leaks. Felpro makes a gasket to address this issue. But it is not a guarantee remedy. I have not personally found an aftermarket set of heads that address the issue. But I'm sure they could exist. It is no fun to invest in a block only to find out it's not compatible.

Just google gen V and aftermarket heads. Plenty of info on it.

As for controlling your trans, just go full manual.

raylar is the only place that has aftermarket heads but youre an idiot to spend that on an 8.1L

I wouldnt consider a person who suggest a 60e behind a 600hp motor to be a friend. My monster 4l60e lasted a year behind a regualar 5.7 vortec, and about 5 months behind a 355 that makes MAYBE 30hp over stock. Sure they may last a couple passes at the track, but if your throwing all this money at it, spend the money on a good transmission. I garuntee you, a first gen 60e wouldnt last 6 months behind 600hp being daily driven, regardless of who builds it or what kind of parts are in it.

close personal friend is a trans builder, he has 60e's in numerous 9 second nitrous cars.

Really ... I would be interested in the stuff he does to get them to live and of course pics of videos of these 9 second passes ...

gen 5 454. NOT 8.1

8.1L is gen 6?! well i still stand behind carb swap with a 60e is a bad plan. but i do apologize for thinking of the wrong engine. you want the answer then here

you want a carbd 454 with a 60e behind it. you need TPS sensor on your carb and rpm signal from the dizzy. yay trans works.

take your line pressure and jump that **** way up and put a big as stall with a cooler or 5 and a few external filters on that 60e and it might live a bit longer than a week.

if your planning on driving a 10:1 600hp big block around regardless of commute then i can already tell rationality isnt at play here, therefore i gave you your answer.........which exists on this very site.......

Gen V = TBI without intake adaptor 454, Gen VI = Vortec 454, Gen VII = 8.1.
