Re: caddy 500 vs gm crate 454

I think I might build a badazz OLDS for my truck Really, as they go(in stock form), the Olds,caddy,poncho Big blocks pull the tork from waaay down south. This is due to the long stroke....455 olds is a 4 1/4" stroke, & the Cad is longer than that. A BB chev 454 is 4" even on the stroke, so its not to hard to see why the "other" bigblocks make so much tork way down low(nice hauler mills) having run both Olds & caddy, the Olds is still my favorite big block(just my choice)......if you guys really dig a 401 Rambler, go for it! Be sure to post picks of the mounts tho best of fun, L
