How do I build a 454 that will Idle with the roughest Idle possible.. I mean, I want it to vibrate my brains out. But when I get on the gas from a stop light it dies, until I reach 3000 rpms. Then it burns up my tranny, breaks axles, and goes up in smoke with a loud " BOOOM".. Im not looking to race, I just want to sound and look cool. Help me please.

Is this a thinly veiled attempt to start a thread about automotive stuff in BR?

Why not just buy a Ford?

pull the PCV valve out ot the hose, but leave the hose just laying there all open and stuff..
that should about take care of the idle quality for ya.

Or you could punch a hole in your daiphragm on your power valve, if you have a Holley. Then open the butterflies up enough so it won't quite die. It'll idle good'n rough.

Are you sure thats not going to annoy the hell out of you. Sure it looks cool and sounds cool but if you want it to lope like my Chevelle lopes it gets downright annoying with everything rattleing all over the place. I have to reajust my stupid mirrors every 5 minutes because of that loping. But hey its your car just warning you.

Pulling about 4 plug wires should do nicely and you could even swap the order too if you like. Sorry can't help with the big "boom" at 3000.

 

[DOUG G]

On second thought, for the big "boom" at 3000, A pro fogger set at max shoud get a "bang".

Put in a cam with a REALLY small LSA. The tighter the LSA is ground the more lope you will get. Go for a 106 or smaller. Also make sure the cam is at least a 244/244 with a minimum .625 lift. I would recommend a solid roller. A single plane intake and a decent carb should do it. Toss in about 3200-3500 stall convertor and it should do it for you pretty well.

By the way, other than the smaller LSA this is pretty close to my set up and it does what you want. I would be very tempted to just let you have it if I didn't have so much money in it. It is incredibly annoying to drive on the street for the most part. Don't get me wrong, it is a blast having power like this on the street, but driving it around town gets old real quick. I have been slowly backing down my set up and making it a little more drivable.

You may not be looking to race, but what you want IS a race car. I learned quick, it is nearly impossible to have both a street car and that type of race car. At least one that is well mannered on the street. I am definitly not saying it can't be done, just that you will spend a lot more than I for that engine.

Well, that's about the weirdest question I have seen here so far. No offense, but isn't this kinda like what the ricers do to their imports?

 

[Finally]

As said pull a couple of plug wires, it'll idle like s***. Replace the oil in the crankcase with gas. Can't guarantee it'll go boom at 3000 rpm but can guarantee it'll go boom!

EDIT: This is not a repeatable result, only works once.

Oh Man, this is a simple question with a simple answer !

1. Install manual choke pull.

2. Wait for engine to warm up.

3. Pull choke cable out to the point where the choke flap is 3/4's closed.

4. Reach in back seat and grab gas mask. Install mask on your face.

5. Visit Doctor on a regular basis to for breathing treatments.
