Re: caddy 500 vs gm crate 454
The caddy is a great stump puller in stock form and if you could find a complete setup and were willing to do the work to swap it in great. Most people would like to do as little work as possible in that case a 454 will drop right in and everything will fit.
In the real world a 454 is a better engine and capible of more then the 500. Not that the 500 is less of an engine it's just not as practical for everyone.
