    Cam info please

    Hey Pete, whats up? tranny is holding fine, it was worked over before I got the truck, with Corvette stuff so they say?? I wish they had changed the planatary unit to a close ration Sonnax unit but they didnt so 2nd gear is still a reach, really hurts performance IMHO but what ever. A friend...

    Cam info please

    So originally after installing a 502HO in my 90SS 454 truck I was going to do a procharger but the cost will be prohibitive.. So now Im faced with wanting a little more out of my creation and thought a cam upgrade might do the trick. Thinking along those lines and still maintaining streeability...

    Can’t find a 454SS, so I’m building my own!

    FYI since it was mentioned my truck is about a 5-9 drop as far as i can determine, wheels are 20 x 9 255-35-20and 20x10 with 285-35-20. Side to side in rear is as big as stock wheel wells can accept, front no problen turning but on serious pot hole or dips they rub the upper wheel well. price we...

    Best of luck to ya, thats a lot of work and time and money, but in the end youll be proud. Ive had mine now about 3 years and it was pretty nice when I got it, but yet the money is still going in, most of it was on a 502HO swap cause the 454 was gutless and had the TBI on it, never could get it...

    1990 454 SS 110mph gauge cluster

    This is out of my 1990 SS 454, I just switched over to Dakota Digital VHX series. The cluster is in great shape except for the Plexiglas convex hood which is a little cloudy from the years. Speedo works as does the fuel and amp gauges, the oil pressure and water temp were not hooked up when I...

    Dont know my exact front drop but mine does the same thing running 255/35/20. unless you want to raise it then you will have to work the inner fender well to solve it imho. Bobby V

    What type of rims are on your truck

    Mine are American Racing Super Novas, 20x12 and 20x 9.5 with 285/35/20 rear and 255/35/20 front, I like them cause they flash really well and are pretty easy to wipe down,

    Re-build stock front suspension or go Tubular $$$

    Thanks 454, after doing some research I find that for my needs Ill be better off just re-building the stock suspension on my truck so I think thats what Ill do, thanks again Bobby V

    Re-build stock front suspension or go Tubular $$$

    So in looking at going all tubular on the front end along with all new bushing, ball joints etc. it looks to be a cost somewhere around $1300-1500 + labor for the more high quality control arms VS just rebuilding whats there (stock) with all new bushings etc at a much lesser amount of $$$...

    C-notch ?

    Mine is flipped with 3" shackles and 1" blocks, figure its about a 9" drop all told. I had the underbed/over frame C notch done with small bump stops leaving about 3" of travel which is OK unless I hit deep dips or bumps then it bottoms out, price you pay to look cool
