That would be a killer street - strip motor, I have a zz502 with just a cam and carb change (very similar to yours 612-636) and I ran 10's off the trailer with no tuning, so that should be a potent piece even with those 3.31's.....
New 505ci Big Block Street Engine Combo
Ok guys,
I got a friend who wants to buy my 468 (whole and not just the short block) that is in my Chevelle. And so now I can go crazy on my new 505 combo. This is what I am looking at now:
- 454 block bored .100 over with torque plates, zero decked and studed mains
- Eagle rotating kit with 4.25" stroker crank and JE/SRP Forged pistons
- Compression will be about 10.6-1
- Brodix Race Rite ovals with 115cc chambers
- Crane Hyd Roller cam: 234/242 (296/304), .610/.632, Comp Pro Magnum rockers
- Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap intake, HPC ceramic coated
- Holley 870 Avenger carb and mechanical pump
- DUI HEI and Moroso sprial core wires
- Hedman 2" x 3" headers running into a Torque Tech 3" mandrel bent system with X-pipe
The computer simulation says 616 HP @ 6000 and 601 TQ @ 4500
The rest of the car is a TH400 w/2500 RPM converter and a 12-bolt with 3.31's.
This is gonna be a killer street engine.
OK, now yalls part, fire off your comments and tell me what you think.
Thanks

That is what I am shooting for! Big motors can pull alot of gear.
Thanks!!!
I confirmed the sale of my 468 today and so the research quest continues.
This is what I am looking at now with everybody's input:
- 454 block bored .100 over with torque plates, zero decked and studed mains
- Eagle rotating kit with 4.25" stroker crank and JE/SRP Forged pistons
- Compression will be about 10.6-1
- Brodix Race Rite ovals with 115cc chambers and CNC option (342/231 cfm)
- Crane Hyd Roller cam: 244/256 (306/318), .632/.632, Comp Pro Magnum rockers
- Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap intake, HPC ceramic coated
- Holley 950 HP carb and mechanical pump / Also have an 870 Avenger
- DUI HEI and Moroso sprial core wires
- Hedman 2" x 3" headers running into a Torque Tech 3" mandrel bent system with X-pipe
I find myself day dreaming about big 500+ cubic inch big blocks...
Here is a link to the cam card:

I ran the numbers on this combo through the computer and it is telling me 615 HP @ 5800 and 650 TQ @ 4000/4500. What a torque pig!
My ultimate goal is to get my car to run 6.99 in the 1/8th and still be a street driven terror! I think I'm also gonna need to invest in a Mosier 12-bolt!

I was also thinking a 0.10 overbore was pretty agressive. I would be concerned with cylinder wall thickness on a factory 454 block.

Well guys here is yet another update.
I will be using another block with a .060 overbore to bring it in at 496 ci. The Eagle kit is here and ready to start building.
I have done a little more research on this combo and I am going with the CNC option on the Brodix heads and adding titanium retainers. The heads are ordered and they should be here in a week.
The power estimate is now set at 660 HP and 660 TQ!
This is gonna be cool! :thumbsup:

Oh, by the way, 505ci is a popular combo now and many guys are running the 0.100 over bore with no problems.
I still have the block, it was given to me!

Well a very simular topic was discussed over at Steves as to IF a 396 could be bored out to the 427/454 bore size. The general opinion along with the view of the book "How to Hot-Rod Big Block Chevys" was that it is possible to do so......Soooo I suspect that boring a 454 .100" over is possible too....However I would, as was suggested with the 396 overbore, get the 454 block sonic tested just to be safe...Good luck with your project...it sounds awsome to meMotorhead62 said:Oh, by the way, 505ci is a popular combo now and many guys are running the 0.100 over bore with no problems.

FYI,
You should check out how many pistons are made for a 0.125 over bore on the 454. They are mostly high compression drag race types.
My machinist says he has built a bunch of 0.125 over 454's with no ill effects.
There are quite a few dudes on the Chevelle site running 505's.
