1968 ElCamino SS 454, Red paint & reconditioned

ØSize; cubic inch: 454 bored .30 over with a 2-bolt main, rom a 1974 Chevy .

Ø Pistons are TRW' forged 11 .5-1 high dome type that has been worked to fit

the heads.

ØCompression: 11-1. I think with the head gasket it is probably closer to 11-1

compression.

ØFuel - Run 93-octane fuel (but I would always use a bottle of octane booster with

every other fill up.)

ØCrank turned . 10 / .10 cast from same truck.

ØRods are heavy-duty truck rods that have been shot peened & balanced and ARP fasteners installed.

ØHeads are from a 1968 396, hey are semi oval port that have been ported

and larger valves installed.

ØCam is a "Crane Blueprint LS-6 or LS-7, can't remember. The exhaust lift

is .530 / intake .540 and it is a solid type lift. (I usually adjust the valves cold at 24 thousands on intake and 26 exhaust. You can play around with that to find out what works best for you.)

ØLifters are Harland Sharp l.7 ratio roller type.

ØIntake manifold is a C-396 Edelbrock from a 1968 396 big block. It is a duel plain type and works very well with the lift of the cam. I would go to a single plan intake if you go with bigger cam with lift around .600.

ØWater pump is a Edelbrock high flow aluminum type.

ØFan is a new clutch fan.

ØRadiator is a Griffin aluminum cross flow radiator.

ØIgnition is MSD 6-AL ignition with rev-limiter (watch out for the big spark as it will knock you on your butt if your not careful.)

ØCarburetor is a Holley 3-barrel 950cfm carb. off a Chrysler hemi stock car. (This is a rare carb. and you may want to take it off and store it).

ØFlywheel is a Mickey Thompson steel billet (another rare piece) that has been balanced to the cutch and full rotating assembly.
