Hi All
I'm looking for some help figuring out what I've got in an Eliminator V-drive that I purchased recently. It's a 454 and the casting number on the heads (6272990) say that it's a 425HP crate motor with open chamber rectangle port heads. Tag on the block says Harman marine. Now if I assume that the motor is original. Does anybody know what that motor should have in it as far as cam, crank, rods, etc?
It sounds like a solid cam and it sounds like the valves need adjusting. Can I tell if it's hydraulic or solid without taking of the timing cover to find a number on the cam?
It's been 25 years since I did any fun wrenching so I'll take any help I can get.
Thanks
Gary
