Pat, Don't want to bother you, but would you be willing to talk with me about this engine? Maybe even take a street rebuild on ? If that would be possible and something you would consider let me know... RS

Its a new engine to your husband and it seems to work every now and then with a lot of gas smell. Make sure you guys are not flooding the engine with gas while trying to get it going. Probably not your problem but just a thought. Good luck , keep us posted.

if it's not getting much at the points, the condensor could have gone bad, which is common for engines that sit

If it is firing at the points but not at the plugs it could be a bad rotor cap. I have had them crap out before. Bug

Is it a Cup motor, a Busch motor, or an ARCA motor? ARCA used to allow a roller cam while Nascar did not. In Nascar, the Cup motors have higher compression than do Busch motors. mike in tucson

Mileage is not the 454's forte. Go for the 350, swap the big block to someone that tows a heavy trailer.

You might want to pull it off and measure it,your damper length should be 3.400" if it is 3.875 you have a damper that is supposed to be a 351W or 302 H.O. with the Ford Racing .917 crank sprocket.That damper can be used on a 351C with the above sprocket but requires having .070" machined off.This was noted on the instruction sheet that came with my balancer.If you still have the old stock ...

Those heads have screw in studs. They went to the pedistal rockers in 72 I believe..The "385" Ford big block never had rocker shafts to my knowlege.

What engine is it intended for? Is this a brand new, in the box, never used cam? If not - it's really tough to ID. If it's used, you'd be well advised to just let it go.. I'd never install an already run cam in any engine other than the one it was run in as they immediately take on a personality that is unique to each engine. My 2 cents, Glenn

The accepted ratio that I am familiar with for normally aspirated engines is: 1-horsepower for 1-hour requires approximately .5 (1/2) pound of gasoline i.e., a single-cylinder engine producing 1-horsepower for 1-hour uses approximately .5 pound. On a dyno this is expressed as Brake Specific Fuel Consumption (BSFC). Depending on the engine tuning, BSFC is typically .40 -.50, i.e., .4 to .5...
