Re: Big Block Chevy Intake decision
Is that a flat tappet speedracer? If so what is the part number and mfgr? I have been looking at a comp cam 11-240-4, 564/567 278/292 with a 112LS. Wouldn't mind checking yours out if you have the info handy.

I believe mark IV 454s can go to .120 over, depending on how much hp you are pushing. The wall starts getting weaker and moves more the further you go. Problem with most marine engines (unless closed cooled), is corrosion is working on the other side of the cylinder wall to make it even thinner. There are things that can be done to counter the flexing wall issue, like putting cement in the water jackets to stiffen things up. I run closed cooling, so the .070 doesn't bother me a bit but without it I think I would start getting nervous over .060 over.

bt,
I do not have those specs, sorry. I remember looking up the cam on Isky's site. I don't believe that they had it there either.
