Big Block 468 Build
Hi everyone, I’m new here, found the site while researching a 468 BBC build my kid and I are working on for our chevelle and we would really appreciate some advise on our first build. It’s a standard 454 block (2 bolt, 2 piece rear seal) and crank, block being bored 0.060 over. Looking to be somewhere in the ballpark of 10:1 compression.
questions:
1) when looking at new 454 flywheels, most of them are described as fitment for 350, 400, 454. If I already have a 350 flywheel for a 2 piece rear main seal, will it work for my 454 bbc?
2) what 0.060 pistons will you recommend for a 468 roller, 10:1 setup? I was looking at these:
3) Looking for a set of aluminum heads/intake that wouldn’t break the bank. Basic 119 cc, -320 intake runner, roller setup would be great. Saw some cheap kits from SpeedMaster/PCE. Anyone with experience? I’m assuming in this case, u get what u pay for, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’m wrong.
All input appreciated. Thanks
