I have a set of 049 with large valves in them ready to bolt on and I have set of 1977 781. I would like to make a easy 550 horse. The block is a 454 block stock bore. Tell me what i need.

A stout solid roller cam, a solid upgraded valvetrain to match, a domed piston crown to get some compression in that large chamber, an Edelbrock Performer RPM Air-Gap, and 850 or so modular carb...

As a VERY general outline.

All the above like Gib said and make shure the heads have a good bowl blend.
