But if you plan on doing modifications, there is no substitute for cubic inches. But building a big block isn't cheap. A good place to start would be a top end kit. Newer stock 454's are really choked down. A top end kit would give you better heads, cam and intake. It would also shed about 100 pounds of weight by replacing the cast iron parts with aluminum ones. Be prepared to spend about three grand for one of these kits. Go to the Summit Racing site and search item Edelbrock 2095 for an example of one of these kits. This kit should be good for about 430 horse power. Summit Racing has about a dozen of these kits in various price ranges. Also, keep in mind that when building a big block, they build their power at a lower RPM. So choose your parts accordingly. Plan on not going over 6500 RPM and look to build your peak power at about 5000 - 5500 RPM. Or you could get a 454 crate engine. For about $5500 you can get a 454 HO rated at 425 HP, Summit item 12568774 For about $6500, you can get a ZZ454 with all the goodies rated at 440 HP. Summit item 12498777 Your wallet is your limit. If you get Spike TV, on Trucks, they are doing a Truck Wars series. One of the trucks involved is a SS454. Maybe you could get some ideas from this.
