Hey guys. I'm looking for advice on a big block for my 68. It is a pro street build,will be a weekend warrior, so not worried about high dollar fuel. Running 33x19.5 tires,turbo 400 trans, 3:55 gear. I wanted to recreate the old crate engine,the ls 7. I have a 80's 4 bolt main 454. Also have original dimple rod/ 12.5:1 pistons from a ls7. Crank is factory cast. Have a set of factory 049 heads. Looking for around 500 horsepower or so.. Thinking fuel injection would make life easy. Any ideas for a combo? Thanks.
