K30 with a big block question?

[mrk5]

What does @skunked have on the l29 hes putting together?

Based on pictures I see serpentine pulleys being painted black, so probably the L29 stuff. Found a decent price on a local block but it says "accessories not included" so I'm not sure if the brackets would still be there or if they'd be gone too.

Are you looking for a big block?

I'm looking for more horsepower. Still have the dreams of building a 400+ horsepower big block. If the right deal comes along. So I browse the local CL and FB stuff for 454's.

Teriyaki terror? Wutang wind whistle?
Maybe a Hiroshima Hairdryer??

Dude a big block can sneeze and make that much

And my 350 is 400+ HP. Coincidence?

since 1 6 cyl isn't big enough for @beags86 maybe 2 will do it.... 702 gm V12

I'm not smart enough to figure out how to do a turbo setup. I would need it in kit form.

As fun as throwing a hair dryer on there would be, I think Ian has $2000 in the kit he bought for his L29. Came with the cam, linked roller lifters and roller rockers. We will have to measure for custom pushrods.

But it's a proven combination with the vortec heads to make 400+HP and 550 tq. Stock rods/pistons.

The factory TBI trucks will make 385 HP with no other changes than just running a carb. I’d think any half decent injection will reach that

I would like to know what cam that is because I haven’t seen a gen 6 make that much torque with stock heads and pistons. I’m shooting for 450/510.

The stock l29 is 410ftlbs.... It's pretty realistic for a mild cam and a tune to hit 510

I was asking about the 550, I know the 510 is possible on a stock block and heads.

 

[shady]

I read somewhere that they were good for a lot more than that. Did not know if it's true or where I seen it.

 

[Capt Ron]

If a fella was to find an L29 that doesn't have the accessories, will the accessories from a Mark IV swap over?

I think @nvrenuf did the opposite so I'm thinking it should be doable.

 

[nvrenuf]

I used SBC brackets with a Kwik Performance adapter kit on my Mark IV.
I highly recommend this if you want the accessories tightly packaged.
