How do I know if I have HEI, and if I don't have it, should I upgrade

Intelligent people spend the 30 seconds to search Google for their answer. Crayon eaters ask for their answers to be spoon fed to them, and then act immaturely; and toss insults at other more knowledgeable posters that don't answer their silly questions.

What's your favorite color to eat???

Google search: "HEI cap"

Google search: "Not HEI cap"

That took me under 30 seconds. You have the balls to insult CSFJ??? Pathetic....


I came back to see how things were going on the site. I guess I haven't been missing much, since it's oviously still overrun with crayon eaters that can't do a basic search for themself.

Not really it's been good for a while. This guy took 64 posts before he fell.

Asking questions, and making sure I'm getting something right so I don't cause damage doesn't make me slow. Intelligent people ask questions and aren't afraid to learn. Insecure idiots do the opposite of that, or try to belittle those that are asking questions.

Get a life and move on from my thread. You have offered no help at all, and instead have stunk it up.

LMAO. This post is great. Dude, vbb199 laid it out for you real nice but you obviously didnt read or chose not to listen to what he was saying. I have asked some stupid questions in my time and I will probably ask some more so I try to be understanding of people like you. But you sir need to get the stick out of your ass and just listen. Dont you know that some people just like to talk ****? Its almost like a currency on forums. Especially when you are asking something that is pretty basic. You will get your question answered. Just dont throw a fit if someone that can answer your question wants to have a little fun first.

Pretty much. A forum without any fun or **** flicking is about as boring and useful as Wikipedia answers. With about the same level of incorrect ******** because no one wants to offend anyone else by saying they are wrong. This forum is fantastic and has saved my ass many times, which I've always apperiated, **** flicking included.

Soooo, besides possibly the color.... What's the difference? Just fishing?

Power voltage throughput is the largest difference. The design difference of an HEI also has substantial benefits over a points type. Reliability and simplicity being the biggest benefits.

I know this... I was just fishing from MisterB to tell me the difference between the aftermarket HEI and factory looks. But I may never know his thoughts. I feel empty inside. Lost even.

Here's something else you'll learn today, 1987 didn't have and HEI either, unless it was possibly an '87 motor home running an '86 chassis.

Can anyone tell me what the displacement of a 454 is?

Wow, thats a great question. If I remember 8th grade science class right, you can fill a tub with water and then put the engine in the tub and measure how much the water goes up. Just make sure you post pics.
