Here is the kicker for class in super stock, building a 454 and a (427 backup) 700hp engine, tunnel ram , (2) 650 carbs, and a hood scoop. I ran ss/pa in my 69 z28 Camaro for several years. What class guys?????
SS/AM. This class is 7.50 lbs per inch, which means your min. weight with the 454 (465") would be 3485 lbs. That is alot of weight to manage. Consider a shorter stroke on the crank to reduce your cubes. Like 420" is 3150 lbs. Also 700 hp is too low, shoot for 1000 hp. Cool build, all the best.
