I'd like to do a muscle car one of these days. it would be something different for me, and it would make my dad happy since it wouldn't be another japanese piece of ----.

the 454 was a useless pig. id take a 350 sbc over that fucker any day.

Re:worship?
 

fook is right the 454 was useless

i'd rather have a 396 or if i had the money a 572

Re:worship?

Do you guys have any reason why you think these motors are garbage because they're really not.

Re:worship?
 

454 is only useless completly stock. why would you rebuild a motor to complete stock specs unless it was like a collector car or something.

there are lots of 396s that make less power than 454s, way less

my chevelle had a 325hp (oval port head) 396. not that great, worst BBC cam in a factory engine EVER. 375hp 396 is a lot better though :)

400 small blocked de stroked to a 377, best street SBC motor you could do IMO 500whp on the pump no problem, first motor i ever helped build was one, went in a malibu w/turbo 400 trans and 4.10 gear, tore ass on the street and at the track it ran 6.5 all motor and high 5s on the bottle

Re:worship?
 

best street small block = corvette C5R(block) all alum 427

HP TV did a 427 small block that made 700ish hp? around that torque on pump gas.

they also did a huge 456 or somethnig dont know exact CID but it made 760ish hp on pump gas.

but the best street small block (affordable) IMO is 400 sbc.

more cubes is always better ;)
