Big Block 454   7.4L L19/L29 $3400(2008 price) Remanufactured Engine This large displacement workhorse has the torque to handle big jobs—towing trailers, hauling heavy loads and other weighty tasks—while providing the power, strength and endurance truck owners have grown to expect. A single piece rear oil seal helps reduce oil leaks. Reduced weight turned-skirt hypereutectic strut-less pistons reduce friction. The heavy-duty nodular crankshaft has deep rolled fillets for increased strength and durability. Steel camshaft and roller lifters on newer applications help reduce friction, improve wear resistance and increase low-end torque. The priority main lubrication system keeps the bottom end lubed under tough duty. The L19/L29 V-8 displaces 454-cubic-inches. L29 Vortec Big Block Cylinder Head was used on 1997-99 pick-ups with 7.4L engines. They are the best kept secret of GM. ________________________________________________________________________________________________   88890529 $4600  ENGINE New Goodwrench 454 (L19) 1985-1993 Truck New Goodwrench Replacement Engine 1985-1993 Trucks with L19 454 Engine.

12568774 454 425HP  GM LIST: $6,878.57  StrokerEngine PRICE: $5300 (add TK Pack $700) The 454 HO offers tremendous value in a big block crate engine. Based on the GenVI block this 425 horsepower iron head engine is a great choice for that muscle car in the garage. We've heard of several of our customers replacing their rare matching number 396 427 or 454 with our 454 HO in order to drive their car on today's gasoline without fear of destroying their classic engine. The HO stands for high output it also stands for big valves rectangular ports forged pistons forged steel crankshaft forged connecting rods and four bolt mains. Sounds a lot like the performance big blocks of the late 60's doesn't it ? When you add in the steel roller camshaft shotpeened rods windage tray one piece rear main seal and high speed single roller timing chain it sounds more like the performance big block of the 90's. And it is !The 454 HO makes 500 Ft/Lbs of torque with its rectangular port open chamber cylinder heads. With 118cc combustion chambers the modest 8.75 to 1 compression ratio loves today's pump premium and has no appetite for lead octane boosters or other fuel additives. Its 2.19" intake and 1.88" exhaust valves and high lift .510"/.540" roller cam let it breath with the best of the early muscle car motors.With your carburetor HEI distributor exhaust system and bright red '67 Corvette coupe (sold separately 31 years ago) you've got a muscle cruiser worthy of your time effort and expertise. And if you want to use your muscle car's fuel system with a mechanical fuel pump you can because the 454 HO GenVI block has a conventional style fuel pump boss.The 454 HO is not intended for marine use and should only be used in 1973 and earlier pre-emissions street vehicles or any year off road vehicles.Technical Note: For manual transmission applications use flywheel #14096987 and a suitable 11" clutch assembly.   12498777 ZZ454 440hp GM LIST: $7,907.14   StrokerEngine PRICE: $6000 (add TK Pack $700) Based on the time tested 454 HO GM has added a set of GM Signature Series aluminum cylinder heads taking the overall performance up to a stout 440 hp and 500 ft. lbs. of torque. The ôall newö ZZ454 carries the same quality components offering forged pistons forged steel crankshaft forged connecting rods and four bolt mains. This classic muscle car motor has all modern technologies incorporated into it such as a roller cam forged bottom end and a compression ratio that will let you fill up at the pump. (Technical Notes: For manual transmission applications use flywheel 14096987 and a suitable 11ö RAM clutch assembly. Distributor P/N 1104067 or melonized distributor gear P/N 10456413 must be used on all crate engines with steel camshafts).

Subject: 502 burning oil
Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 13:10:19 -0500

Hello Dave.

I had a long talk with a Chevy dealer who told me there is no problem with oil burning with the 502.

I sold one to a customer. He said it burns oil.

The HO and HT use the same ZZ502 short block with different camshafts.

The HT uses the large port heads.

While the power curves don't look that different on paper, the throttle response is better with the HO because of the high velocity of the intake charge at lower RPM.

 My customer also complained that the carb did not work well on the 502.

The Carb Shop (Ontario California) said it is too big and poorly tuned.

After talking to GM and the Carb Shop about the cost of making it right, we decided to toss the carb and buy a better one.

Look for my new monster next year.

I'm prototype building a 705 BBC for the street.

My goal is to sell it under GM's price for their 572 engines.

This engine should be able to pull a train.

I will go to dyno testing in a couple of weeks.

Sincerely,
John Nijssen

12499121 - Ram Jet 502  GM LIST: $12,700.00  PRICE: 9500     The recipe is simple; one part attitude, one part driving perfection, one part leading factory technology, and five hundred and two parts hungry rat motor. Ram Jet 502, you either have one or you want one ! When the idea of an all new big-block fuel injection system first came up, we all thought it was a good one. When it was proposed that it be integrated with our 502 crate engine, we thought somebody clearly lost their mind. Who could possibly need the awesome, flat, broad torque curve only available with a long runner dry manifold ? And who would want the neck-snapping throttle response of MEFI 3 controlled port fuel injectors ? And what would be the need for aggressive tunnel ram styling ? But then we remembered we're not building 100 mile per gallon, 0 to 60 in a week, econo-scooters. We're in the hot rod business ! So we called together engine management system experts from GM Powertrain, our own GMPP engineers, and fuel injected race engine builder and GMPP Pro Mod racer Harold Martin. After some great discussions, a little debate, a lot of late nights and 50 gallons of coffee we had an intake manifold design like no other. By leveraging leading fuel management technology, numerous production developed components, the industry standard MEFI 3 controller and the great Ram Jet name from the 1950's, the Ram Jet 502 is a reality. The new undisputed heavy weight champion, the Ram Jet 502, makes 502 horsepower at 5100 RPM and 565 Ft/Lbs of torque at 3200 RPM. But the real story is the torque curve, the Ram Jet 502 makes more torque throughout its operating range. This is possible because Ram Jet has a larger plenum and runners than would ever be possible in a carbureted application. This means greater intake efficiency and greater torque without sacrificing driveability. The Ram Jet manifold is so efficient that we're able to make all of this horsepower and torque with a production L98 throttle body assembly, you know, the one that Firebird and Camaro owners always replace when trying to make more power in their 350ci engines. It's all about airflow quality, velocity, and fuel and spark management. You'll just have to drive one to appreciate it. If the one-second cold starts, no stalling, instant throttle response, and the solid pull from idle to red line don't convince you that a Ram Jet 502 is for you, then maybe we could interest you in a 100 mile per gallon, 0 to 60 in a week econo-scooter ! The Ram Jet 502 is not intended for marine use, and should only be used in 1973 and earlier pre-emissions street vehicles or any year off road vehicles. Technical Notes: Do not use bolt sealer on the cylinder head bolts, the holes are blind tapped. The long block kit includes partial engine, cylinder heads, valve covers, valvetrain, and fasteners and gaskets for the parts included. The complete engine kit includes the long block kit plus intake manifold, carburetor, distributor, water pump, spark plugs, spark plug wires with looms and additional fasteners and gaskets.
