489ci tow build...
Specs on my 454 is that it is bone stock engine for the 87 model R20. I think its rated at 240hp/330TQ which is weak for a 454 ci motor. I have thought about a 8.1 swap however the aftermarket for them are very slim. Plud the 8.1 parts are really high dollar. I have thought about a L29 swap...- Z28 Guy

489ci tow build...
Not all the way sure on budget yet. I do plan on going with forged internals for a peace of mind. In my case with a engine never going over 4000 rpm i wonder is a aftermarket head worth the cash vs a factory head with some valves/springs etc ?- Z28 Guy
