Mild pump gas 454 build and dyno test.

The camshaft installed, the double roller timing set is installed. Make sure the oil galley plugs are put into the block first, otherwise you might forget and have a huge internal oil leak. The camshaft is "degreed" or checked with a degree wheel to make sure it's installed as it was designed. In this instance, I had to use the 4 degree retard position(after the photo was taken, since it clearly shows it straight up, or at 0 degrees), and installed the 112 LC cam at 110.5, or 1 1/2 degrees advanced, primarily to counter the affect of the timing chain stretching.

Thanks guys,, put this one together a few years ago for a jet boat. First outing, before he did anything to the pump, he beat a boat with 100 more cubic inches.

You can't shake a stick at that.

Just read this for the first time. Great read! I did have a few questions:

1. I didn't see any mention of you hanging the rods or filing piston rings. Is that something top secret?

2. I noticed that you used what appears to be a stock GM balancer. I was surprised to see you run this instead of a decent after market piece that is but together a little better. Comments?
