Thanks. Just replaced it with a 496 that runs on regular fuel. The 454 is a non production motor that was built for the 1970 Corvette but never happened. This 454 runs perfectly and sounds great just has to have turbo blue Thanks for your reply.

If it runs perfect and sounds great, it has probably had pistons replaced to bring it to a more reasonable 10.5 or so. If that is the case, it is worth less, but more usable. That cam-piston combo wasn't for getting groceries.

No original,pistons. Compression is 12.5.1. Motor is original LS 7 454 that was manufactured originally for a corvette. I have checked and rechecked. Stamped XCH. This motor is a horse. Hey thanks for the reply. I appreciate it
