Have you checked your spark plugs? I have had 2 454 squares and neither burned any oil, but everybody else I know who has had a BB says they burn at least a quart between oil changes. Even with leaking valve cover gaskets I have not lost any oil. I now use steel core valve cover gaskets with spreader bars and all valve cover leaks have stopped.
