454 Long Block - El Cheapo, Part 3
|
We chose a low-cost SSI camshaft for the big-block, selecting a grind that was identical to the one we used in the 350. The only difference was that the lift is greater in the 454 because it uses stock rocker arms with a 1.7:1 ratio instead of the 1.5:1 ratio used in a stock small-block. The specs are: 0.527/0.553 lift, 224/234 degrees of duration at 0.050 tappet lift. We massaged it with cam sauce and stabbed it in with new lifters and our old timing chain. We also had to buy one pushrod to replace the hashed one we found during disassembly. We didn’t degree the cam because we’re not only cheap, we’re lazy View Related Article
