Re: More power from my 310hp 454
the merc 420 cam is what i am going to use this year on my 330hp. along with merlin ovals and a 800 holly (not by choice but it will work) stay with the 750 though if you already have it ,much more friendly on these small hp motors. good luck summer is coming

The 420 cam and kit and a set of roller rockers is the next logical step to take. It will make a noticable difference. The carb won't.

Yes, 420 means 420HP; for a 420HP 454. The cam was also use in the Merc 525SC.
I've got a stock set of GM L-29 large oval vortec heads that will out flow those peanut port heads and raise the compression with flat tops from 8:1 to 9:1.
$300 plus shipping...

A good aftermarket exhaust system will be a big improvement over the Merc cast iron stock exhaust. Once you have done that, the better your engine will respond with any mods.
Also, a good set of roller rocker arms would really be an added benifit over the stock stamped steel rocker arms. Good advice is given by Patriyacht and Pat Mc---I agree with there suggestions. Have fun.
