If you are getting low on $$$ and you want to buy unexpected parts you will end up cheaping out and buying something that you didnt really want. use the ugly one, save your pennies and then buy the bling bling!

you got me on that one, but hell man just get on the water and buy the purdy carb after testing you may want an all together different carb. you dont know what your motor will tell you until you hit the water.
i hope that makes sense

Makes sense.........I didnt think of it that way. I have no idea whats in this 454 , i do know its a 454   020 with a crane or comp cam...Thats all i know

But next summer, i will have my  Big Boy Motor
I will  take a look at it tomorrow , see if its worth rebuilding.. I have never had good luck with Holleys

How bad is it hitting? Is it something that can be cured with a diffrent pushrod or rocker arm ratio?

It's smacking it pretty hard, I don't think the push rods are off enough to cause it, they are pretty close. And it's only got a 1.7 rocker arm ratio. I think we're going to degree in the cam and see if that clears it, and if not out comes the valve relief cutter. It's not that it's tight, it's just straight smacking the piston

I think the cam in Sav boat is comp cam xm278h Hy A impeller( in.564 ex566 )112 lobe sep 2000to6200 rpm spring all most match LS6 seat an open pres. 1.88=1.15  1.750=1.65  1.500 300

Did we forget to measure the installed height before we left?

Yes but I checked with gage here at the stock seting.

So the stock height is 1.88, and the seat pressure is at 115lbs?

Ls6 is 1.880 120lb 1.500 275lb comp is 1.900 122lb 306 @140
