The 454 is more because I have it and am tired of tripping over it plus I'm really tired of seeing small blocks every time a hood goes up. And maybe a little bit of I like my cars to get out of their own way...
One thing to consider guys is just because it's a 454 doesn't mean it's going to have 500 hp. Stock 454's in the 70's-80's only produced about 275 hp. My grandfather had an 1980-something Chevy with a 454 and the thing was a dog. I've driven 350's that had more power than that thing
