The L29 heads have a strange combustion chamber. It has a large chunk of steel in the combustion chamber I think to help a swirl condition for the intake charge. That chunk of steel is prone to cause detonation. I've used these heads in multiple combinations, the total timing must be limited to 27 - 28 rather than the usual 34 - 36. They are not a good choice for performance builds, if they are all you have check your air fuel ratios under full load and keep them rich.

HP 500 carb'd cam will get 450hp, Mercruiser used it on their 454 HP450. They used square port heads but I bet torque would be better with the ovals.
You need a cam with close to .600 lift to get there |
