Hey folks,
My name is Dave and i have a problem, I am Addicted to trucks well in reality all vehicles. Anyways I am new to the Forum here From South of Louisville.
Ok i do have a question and not sure where to start besides the engine and perfromance section.
IF any one can pitch in or point me in the right directions i have no issues doing my own research. I am currently working with a 1998 C3500 Gen 6 454 it is used as my welding rig so it rides pretty heavy. Its currently not real happy thats about all i have to say about it will barely get out of its own way. Planning to rebuild in the nearish future you could say i have access to all the generations of 454 heads and blocks full engines. My plan with this particular engine am considering changing the heads and cam while its down considering an intake swap but dont particualrly want to get into major modifications to the actual truck trying to leave the truck as stock as possible just wanting to help it a bit with some upgrades just trying to do so as cheaply as possible. figured if i have them ill use Gen 4 heads if not earlier open chambers id have to look through the shop and see what we have on hand, my question with that is i am aware that the heads will fit the gen 6 but will the factory intake work with these heads?
