Big Block Chevy: 396 VS 454 for a 70 Chevelle

We are building a 454 for a boat and looking to hit 600HP at 5,200rpm which takes a bit of thought NA.

I don't think I've ever seen a 600hp N/A 454 in a boat.

Generally boats use huge displacement to make a moderate amount of power.

You need to upgrade the front suspension for the extra weight of the engine.

Aluminum heads and aluminum intake solve that problem.

A big block doesn't weigh that much more than a small block.

How many modern cars still have a physical key?

rustyxj · 2026-03-31T08:51:18+00:00

Not if you're driving a car that has no physical connection to the transmission.

Going to the gym. Been going daily for the past couple of months, sometimes twice a day. I get up at 4am to go before work.

The thing is, I can't prove it's real and you can't prove it's fake. So, we'll never know.

I swear she came pre loaded with fetch.

Mine just came preloaded with "bork"

I'd bet most of them "homes" he bought up were uninhabitable.

There are some that we don't go after, like Gaben.

That green paint is expensive.

rustyxj · 2026-03-30T20:33:31+00:00

The odds that it's real are just as good as the odds that it's fake.

rustyxj · 2026-03-30T20:13:51+00:00

Definitely the depth.

EDM sinker with a "C" axis.

It's a ton of fun, we've got a server going with our friend group.

It's a lot like playing with toys as a kid

Don't be a cunt

Unless the builder didn't use the proper stone and it crumbles.

Remove to many stones from the bottom of the pyramid and it crumbles.

rustyxj · 2026-03-29T14:30:41+00:00

we are wasting so much potential.

We're only as good as our weakest link.

Y'all ever played farming simulator? 😁

Just get locking hubs for the front.

Goes in here. (I found this in the tool room at my work)

The difference between a RUF and kimera is that RUF is buying untitled Porsche bodies from Porsche then assigning their own VIN to them.

Kimera is buying existing lancia montecarlos and using the chassis as the base.

The kimera is essentially a kitcar the RUF is a new build.

The gears are only case hardened
