Thanks for the details on the successful engine build. For dollars spent the Chevrolet Big Block V8 provides the best return in terms of horsepower and torque of most engines available to a performance enthusiast. This engine has been around since the early sixties and is still very desirable. The iron block is heavy but with aluminum heads, intake, water pump the weight comes down to a manageable level for many cars.

I randomly found a C-454 at a swap meet a couple weeks after watching this video and snagged it. It looks like the high rise chevy intake or Performer RPM with a dominator opening. I'm building a pump gas 509 (.030 over 502) right now and planned to use a RPM Air Gap and 950. But this video got me thinking about a Dominator so maybe I'll test the C-454 vs the Air Gap with a 950 when I get it together. My late father built and raced lots of Big Blocks and was also a David Vizard fan. So I hope to do this right and make them both proud.

David, I have a pair of 565cid (4.25" stroke x 4.600" bore) 9.80" deck engines that are ready for assembly, however they are for a MARINE application offshore hi-perf pleasure boat i mainly use on Lake Michigan. AFR 315cc cnc'd heads with some slight porting on the exhaust port for .700" lift. ...and I have purchased a pair of Edlebrock's dual-plane RPM Air-Gap Pt#7562 in the Rectangle Port design and that's what I am determined to use (don't want to use any single plane). I want a hydraulic roller cam to make peak power up to about 5800-6000rpm, DRY exhaust with 32" 1.7/8" primaries, 9.3:1 comp ratio, Holley 4150 950cfm Ultra XP carb (don't want a Dominator carb) I am a little concerned about reversion from too tight of a LSA on the cam profile, however I LOVE the low RPM idle characteristics of the Mike Jones Cam (450rpm at idle/neutral) ....I always thought the TIGHTER the LSA the more ROUGH and choppier the idle----no? I'm looking for TORQUE on these 565cid marine app engines....with/using the components/parts I have listed, what CAM specs/profile would you suggest and on what LSA???...and please keep in mind I want easy going smooth LOBES on the cams for long lasting durability and easy on the valve train. I am also using Crower Stainless Steel shaft mount roller rocker arms. I enjoy watching your videos and your tech info. Thank you, Sir....Mark Btw, I am NOT looking to make every drop of Horsepower at the top, rather I am looking for NECK SNAPPING TORQUE with these 565's and was planning on calling/using a Mike Jones cam as well.

My question is regarding the cam. I have been warned that some automotive cams can cause revision of water in boats. This is where the cam sequences allow the water cooled exhaust to draw water back to the exhaust valves. How would I know if this would be a problem with this cam? I am extremely interested in the combination as the power and torque would be amazing for the current 350hp 454’s the boat has now. Awesome video!
