Default 454 BB in 89 vette??

Does any one know if a 454 BB will fit in my 89 using the stock hood and without any major mods?

No. Fitting a big block into a C4 is a lot of work. Do a search, it has been covered before.

The Vortech 7400 might just might clear the hood.
The intake is not very high and it is similar to the TPI, it just looks different.
The TB is on the side where you have more hood clearance.
