Re: 454 vs 496 vs 502

I stand corrected. A 496 has a 4.25 inch stroke if i remember correctly. My 535 has a 4.5 inch stroke. Heck I am with you then, I would do the 8.1 liter if the stand alone fuel injection wasn't TOOO pricy. Would surely be less than aftermarket fuel injecting a originally carbed stroked 454. Plus you would have all the serpentine everything and better seals and gaskets that do not leak nearly as easily. I know where 4 of these engines are at this very second that range from 50,000 miles to 150,000. And they aren't that expensive.
