Fired my BBC for the first time!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bennett68C10 · 08-19-2012, 12:49 PM

Well like the title states I fired my 454 for the first time. Wow is all I have to say. Not bad for a motor I picked up for $800.00 from a guy my brother knows. My brother also is friends with the owner of the machine shop who built it, We just need to figure out what cam is in it as the guy I bought it off of couldn't remember the cams specs. All he could tell me was big

I'll see how it runs as far as Vacuum goes and change to a smaller one if needed. Hope you guys enjoy. Exhaust is Hedman mid-length Chevelle headers with Spintech Super Pro Street mufflers, 2.5" all the way back.

**CC69Rat** · 08-19-2012, 08:42 PM

Hope mine sounds as good as yours! Great job man ..

**lolife99** · 08-19-2012, 08:55 PM

Congrats!
What motor oil are you running in your BB?
I'm worried about the whole ZDDP thing, and not having enough zinc, for my camshaft.

**CC69Rat** · 08-19-2012, 09:05 PM

I used the Royal Purple break in oil with voodoo (lunati) cam lube / break in stuff. Has your notor been run before Bennett?

Thanks Keith, I'm running Valvoline ZR1 racing oil that has ZDDP in it along with a bottle of Lucas Oil Break In Oil. I figured better safe than sorry.

Yeah it was already run before when I bought it, it had a couple hundred miles on it. That's why it fired right up first try.
