454 kit-bash build

I got a lot of interest in my engine for my 78 crew cab. Here is a photo dump.
What it is
Gen6 long block
Volvo Penta 7.4 boat oval port intake
L29 valve covers for coil near plug
GM Big-Block Crank Trigger Ignition Conversion Kit

Following..... I've seen a few marine motor builds.... but when it's a big block marine motor, I'm excited

That is an interesting intake choice.
What made you choose that one for your truck engine?

I have a 1997 L-29 for my truck as well for when I need to refresh the one in my truck.
I went the simple pedestrian carb'd Edelbrock RPM for it though.

I will keep an eye on this one for sure.

I like it! It's basically Tuned Port Injection for a big block, by the looks of it.

Pretty cool looking. How’s the tuning for bigger cams?

Looks pretty similar to the Ram Jet 502.

Same idea but longer runners.

Holley dominator is the next thing on the list. Hopefully this year I get it fired up.
