I'm not sure if there 's a specific thread on this or not but I'm hoping to gather some info on upgrading a gen V 454. I'm a newbie to the Gen V motors and What I'm hoping to accomplish is specific head upgrades whether it be aftermarket or factory from a different generation, also discovered viktor reinz doesn't make the gaskets anymore to put mark IV heads on a Gen V but fel-pro does but they are not side specific like the viktor ones were. Also hoping to find out cam upgrades, intake options, valve train options, going from non adjustable to adjustable. I know they are not the best engine to try and upgrade but I got the motor for free as well as the 4l80e 2wd tranny, computer, radiator and basically any other part I need. I'm looking to install this in a 92 bagged truck I'm working on and basically making an ss clone. Looking to just get more power and not too worried about gas mileage as it will just be going to local car shows and cruises and any long trips to shows will be hauled on a trailer. Between 400 and 500 hp would be my target goal for this motor. Thanks
