Oh man there is nothing like the sound of a cammed 454, I have a 454with the same cam in my 74 camaro and ive litterally drank a six pack sitting in a lawn chair listening to it
Same here. Dynomax super turbos, 20-22 in case are perfect. Or even a long RV muffler..friend used some V10 muffs on his built BB quietest hot rod engine Ive heard. DIdnt slow it down either. Dont need 3" on this allit will do is get louder
If you got your timing and carb 100% dialed in, threw some 3" exhaust (if you don't already), and put a couple of good flowing mufflers on, this thing would sound flipping amazing. Just my opinion tho! Many props to the 3rd gen bird, love the F bodies. Awesome build!!
Right now I just got some header mufflers on it. It runs great now but I had the front u joint break at over 100. Broke the case on the transmission. Great 👍
@@sloansgarage5116 I would be thankful that all it did was break the trans case, at those speeds it could of dropped the drive line and pole vaulted your car onto it's lid. You may want to invest in 2 drive shaft loops, that way if it does spit it out, it'll just bounce around in those loops. Also I found that when you put a big block in a vehicle with any kind of stock parts behind it, it will break them!
Yeah I'm glad. Haven't got a drive shaft loop yet. It's still the factory v6 driveshaft. The last factory item in the drivetrain. Gonna upgrade it and get some loops. The car got a 454 th350 and a ford 9 inch rear-end.
Come spring/summer time, I'm gonna go to the drag strip. Should be a good time. I'm glad my video helped you out. If you would subscribe to my channel that would help me out. Thanks
Min 08 its already starting to load up, not a fan of those cams You need plenty of initial timing with those, set your choke up correctly. Time it, go from there. May need to fool with the IAB if youre lucky you dont . With an electric choke and dist set up right you should only need 1 1/2 pump and fire off right away while it goes to high idle Good dual plane would certainly help...know single planes look cool but your truck will be stronger with the DP
Yeah I haven't messed with the distributor yet. But it doesn't have much of a timing sweep. Need to change the springs and or bushings. Anyways I timed it to have 35 degrees of advance all in. But it idles at 16, 17 degrees
Since this video I've got better rectangle port cylinder heads on it and a ol edelbrock dp intake and a 850 dp holley. Rips pretty good for what it is.
You can pick them up cheap on Facebook marketplace/Craigslist. And in a light car even a stock big block is fun on the street. Stupid torque for ridiculously fun burnouts
I got this one for 500 bucks a supposedly 60,000 mile unit out of an rv. Threw the thumpr cam in it, regasketed it and put in the car. Super mild combo. Can't wait to build it up later. Shooting for 600+ hp n/a
I noticed you posted this 2 years ago. I just got a 7.4 454 out of a 1993 silverado. You say you didn't have to upgrade springs? I currently have a 283 in my 4door chevelle and want to swap for more cubes. But I think it would be best to cam the 454 before the swap. I'm new to cars, so doing research. You have part number? Or website with advice on my situation? YOURS SOUNDS SWEEEEET!
Thanks. Yeah I would put in engine before you install the engine in the car. Just because it'll be easier but either way works. You could put the engine in as is. Get it driving then put the cam in to feel the power difference. The cams part # 11-600-4
You don't need to upgrade springs for a noise cam....the lope is created by a super long exhaust duration. If the intake duration was the same the thing wouldn't even run.
Cam sounds great, that's how I want my car to sound. I'm currently working on my RV 454 and looking for a cam to install. My question is, do you need a stall converter for that cam also what size of carburetor are you using? Thans in advance
This cams operating range is 1600-5600. So I don't see why it wouldn't work with a stock converter. But I think you usually want a stall 500 rpm higher than the cams starting operating range. So like a 2200 stall would probably be perfect.
I had a summit racing 750 cfm carb on it. Now I'm in the process of putting some rectangle port heads on it. With a different intake with a 850 double pumper.
I plan to redo my RV 454 just for cruising. I will be installing it in a 1970 Chevy Nova. The only thing I want to change from the motor is install a new cam, aluminum intake and a holley carb. I'm hoping to get at least 400 hp from that motor and I will be happy. Thanks for the info and keep those videos coming.
Dont use one of these cams in an RV! 2200 is stall is basically stock not nearly enough youll need to regear, curve the dist also Big pain just for a lopey idle. There are better choices
What generation or year was your 454? I’m thinking about doing something similar. How much did you like the results? Also, did you do any other work to the engine or was it just stock? Please let me know. God bless you and your family. Duane.
My engine I grab out of a motorhome. It a late mark4 454. Other than the came intake, carb and headers the engine was stock. Stock valve springs even. This cam added tons of mid range power and of course the awesome idle
I have the same motor out of a rv also in my c10 I was thinking of adding this cam but wasn’t sure? Your happy with it? Did it add alittle extra than the stock cam does?
I never drove it with stock cam. But I really like this cam. Good choppy idle, has great low and mid range power. I'm still using stock valve springs and its pulls to 5500 with no valve float issues
Not enough compression in those RV motors for a big cam like this. Your lucky if that motor is even 8:1. Leave the stock cam in it, or raise the compression a bunch.
@@sloansgarage5116 A few I've built with loose converters that ran in the 3000-6000 RPM range ran great with the distributor locked in one place. Made it hard to start, so I cheated and connected a toggle switch for the distributor. Got her to cranking over good and flipped the switch to light her off. No problem. And you probably already know, but a taller air cleaner would give you a lot more air flow. I bet your limited by hood clearance though.
I said f#%k the hood. Now I have a 4 inch air cleaner. Runs way better. Was able to put more jet in the carb too. It pulls hard all the way up now. It's got a 3500 stall converter. It doesn't need it. I had a pretty healthy sbc in the car before. I didn't change the converter when I put the big block in. Does good rolling burnouts 👍
I haven't had any real issues with it. My breaks still work decent. But It would hurt to run a vacuum canister or something. This cam doesn't make that much vacuum at idle.
@@sloansgarage5116 that’s really good to know. I’ll most likely run the canister since I have 4 wheel drums and I need everything I can get lol. Thanks for the info!
I'm just curious do you have power steering on this Bird and how's the front end turning any feeling of weight difference than when turning with the sbc I'm thinking of changing my motor from a 305 in my 89 to a 427 because my father had one in a 3rd gen firebird in the early 90s with a somewhat hilarious story so the story with that bird goes like this. his old car breaks down old AMC hornet he sells it broke for more than he pays for it looks for a 3rd gen firebird or T/A finds a guy selling the car it was his wifes car he bought it for her new it originally had a 305 she got in it one day to get groceries the engine explodes comes to find out she never put oil in it she says put a new motor in he does and she ends up being too scared to drive it so she tells him sell the car or get a new motor because it turns out he put in a built 427 BBC chevy out of his old 67 vette he used to drag race which was sitting in the corner of the shop covered
I just have a set of 2.5 inch summit racing turbo mufflers. Have them v band clamped to the headers. So when I make it to the track eventually, I can just take them off easy
@@sloansgarage5116 I have a 454 with an RV cam. Peanut port heads,headers and honestly I didn't have any problems with starting. I'm thinking about going with the thumper cam and straight cut gears. Vacuum secondary carbs and 16deg at idle on timing.
Ideally your suppost to get it running at around 2000 rpms for like 20 minutes. With cam break additive in the oil. But I never have done that. I haven't flattened a cam yet.
I literally just coat the cam it oil when I install it. Soak the lifters till I don't see anymore bubbles. To make sure the lifters are full of oil. Then adjust my rockers to a 1/2 turn past 0 lash. Drop the distributor in 10 to 12 degrees advanced. Stock usually is 6 to 8 degrees advanced. But i usually put a little more makes it little more snappy off idle. Get it running put 35 degrees full timing. Fyi Most older v8s make best power with 34 to 36 degrees advance. Then I go take it for a short drive. Then I double check my rockers. That's what I do atleast
They sell oils with high zinc for flat tappet engines. Generally there kinda expensive though. So you can put a bottle of zinc additive in your oil. Or I run rotella t4 diesel oil in my engines. You can get it pretty much anywhere. Diesel oils Generally have higher zinc and other anti wear additives that normal gas engine oils don't have. Plus it's cheap. They sell it in 15w40 everywhere where i live. But if you only want to run 10w30 you might have to order it online
I bought a ICT alternator/powersteering bracket it for a bbc with a long water pump. Manufacturer Part # 551493. It works but the powersteering pulley is really close to the steering box. And running a long water pump doesn't allow alot of room for a radiator fan

It's just headers going straight into a set of 2.5 inch summit racing knock off turbo mufflers. Has a nice deep tone and isn't too loud
which cam is it exactly?
Part # CL11-600-4
That little Air cleaner is no good get Rid of it. It's chocking I performance of the engine
Yeah I don't run it now. I was trying to clear the hood. But between that being a 2 inch filter and a drop base. Definitely was choking it out. Was very noticeable when driving it
A sorry but a thad too quiet for my liking ...🤔😂
