Need big block help.

I appreciate the help so far guys as far as the engine I want to aim for some where in the ball park of 450 to 500 HP. I know that the rv motor has low compression I am budgeting for a set of heads, cam and a few misc. Upgrades I am wondering as to why a few have suggested to sell tunnel ram and carbs I like the setup had a friends had that had that setup would like to utilize it if I can again all help appreciated.


A tunnel ram with dual quads on a low compression engine, naturally aspirated, its way over kill and you can make more power with just a single plane or dual plan, single quad set up. Plus what you'd get by selling the tunnel ram would get you enough money for the cam, intake if you sell one of the carbs, more if you sell both if you go with a different carb.

If I were you, I'd look heavily into IQ52's work with low compression, high flow heads. He's getting very good power with low buck go fast parts. I'm not an expert by any means, but I agree with his theory that to power you need 3 things, Cylinder Heads, Cylinder Heads, Cylinder Heads
