i think i mentioned this before but the tq in the 6.0 or 6.2 is on par with a 454. the 6.2 stomps everything but the 70 engines. the 70 ls6 made around 500 ft lbs and was very high compression and runs on leaded gas. building a 454 to 400 hp is going to have about the same tq as a 6.2 and still have less power. its hard to beat the ls combo sorry. you can shave down and hog out 454s heads to get 400 hp but then its gonna run on higher octane and be thirsty. or do aftermarket heads but by the time you sink all the money in you can have a ls engine that making the same power out of the box. to the op you could super charge your 454. thats the cheapest easiest option.
