i am soooo confused......
just looking for some basic info as i try to spec a new motor..
i am assuming... that most bbc are based on the 454 block as the starting point...but what do i know....
what is the difference between......
1.Gen IV,V,VI ??
2.how do you get to 502, 540, etc.?? by boring and stroking the basic 454???
3. Merlin heads and blocks...
4. oval port vs. rectangular ports....
5. tall block????
anyone have a favorite combo for a 5lb boost, reliable, 650 hp lake motor....and hopefully not he $64k question...what would i expect to pay for this class of motor from one of the popular so cal, arizona engine builders????
thanks in advance..
