I tore down that 454 I got for free and have a few questions. I'ts a 2 bolt main will that handle the 500 ponies and 500 # of Torque that I hope to achieve, and will a cast crank handle that or will I need to upgrade to steel.
I will not be towing anything or racing, it is going in my 83 half ton 4x4 and the 383 is coming out. (yep, Mo power)
thanks guy's

It's not exactly a daily driver, I'm building it for running up in the hills and sloggin' through the mud, but nothing too extreme I'm too old for that nonsense.
do you have a suggestion on head, cam profiles I'm shooting for 9.5-1 to 10.-1 comp. so I can still burn pump gas but enough comp. to get the power I want.
It looks like it's cheaper to go with a 119cc combustion chamber and use dome pistons to up the comp. will there be a problem with that scenario. I've never used dome's before and I'm a little leary.
thanks again.

I found this for comparison:

Plus some crate motors with gobs of power.

For a good package with all matching Parts Edelbrock has some good ones:
