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.
The 496's made from a 454 are 4.310" bore and 4.250" stroke.
