454 Think I got it right?
 

First I would like to thank everyone for their help with the previuos threads on engine parts. I think this works together so here goes:
Gen V 4 bolt main block .030 over bore
Steel crank/H beam rods,forged KB pistons-IC9919.030
110 cc Edelbrock Oval Port Aluminum Heads(these have been hanging around from a previous project)
Edelbrock dual plane R.P.M. Performer intake
750 or 800 holley carb(not sure which one)
420 H.P. Merc camshaft
M.S.D. distributor /M.S.D. 6M box and blaster coil
Roller Rockers
Aftermarket Aluminum Exhaust with Silent Choice(4")
The usual machine shop stuff(block boiled,cam bearings,freeze plugs,mains aling honed)

I would have to believe this set-up would live comfortably going into the high 4000 rpm range for short bursts.

This is going in a 26 foot Nova Spyder with a Bravo Drive, not looking for a speeding bullet but good speed and reliability.

One last question woukd be prop selection and who would be my best bet to talk to about a loaner program until I settle on one

Once again thank-you for the input everyone has given me.

Is your Gen 5 block machined for the hydraulic roller dogbones? If so, you should look into a better cam with GM dogbone hyd roller lifters. Much less expensive than a full retro kit.

And don't forget to bore notch the block.
