The 54s usually are Bush heads as a matter of fact. I should have mentioned that. RaceRod, I like your idea. Having had a lot of high HP street cars, torque goes from friend to enemy when you get up to 600+. Or in your case in a flyweight. Besides, RPM motors are fun. Next week we will start a 64 Falcon, and plans right now are looking like a 331CI 8500 RPM motor. Those things weight nothing.
I think I remember CompCams' white '69 was running an SB2 set-up. Something like 650 NA, pump gas. I actually remember liking the high-end torque they made (peak tq was at like 6k or something). That was my dream engine for a while and I was circling Ebay like a shark.
I just remember them being the hot ticket a while back, along with 18-degree heads. But with Lsx engines coming into play the hooplah kinda subsided.
i figured taking advantage of the millions of $$ r&d work for some slightly used parts was deffinatley the way to go, assembled heads/intake/shaft rockers/ valve covers w/oilers....... $3700 to the door.

was that ebay stuff or do you have another source? Also can you run the sb2 stuff on a normal block or do you have to run the sb2 block too?
You can run it on a conventional block. EBay is a good source, but there are others also. Not as many as once before though. The stuff was dirt cheap and sold by the pallet for pennies at one time.
