My 447 uses some oil (I assumed it would) but has run great with no problems for going on three years. Good luck with the build. Glad to see some people trying some different n/a set-ups.

I just spoke with Reese, and initial run in on the engine dyno is showing a very promising future for the 454. Torque gains are massive, I'll have some exact numbers to come as more runs are made.

Quite curious about the HP and TQ ratings myself!

Dang a 454 Small Block! I got to know all the specs!

Plus need to know costs of this beast!

Thanks,Matt

Can you at least spill the beans on the short block? OK, it's an LS2 block, but what makes this the next "Great Leap" in Corvette performance? Is there a significant price advantage over other currently available combinations of the same displacement?

Did you just put a 4.5" crank in a stock LS2 block?

I know lots of folks are interested in some news but you do realize they must work on customer cars first. I will tell you I got to see the LS7 version of the 454 on Saturday at a big car show. They are still tweaking the engine but how about over 475 rwtq at only 2700RPM! This is gonna be a low end torque monster. The other motor which is in another development car is an LS2 sleeved to 454. They are still working on this one and no dyno yet. I am sure they will be posting more information once they have the time to devote to their developmental projects.

If this is all good, you are doing God's work here

Low end torque, plus good HP numbers, NA...there goes the profit sharing check...

I've seen them. At least for the LS7 version.

I think people will be more impressed by the torque than anything else.

What's the delay? Why can't we just get the info on the short block that gets 454 cubes? I don't care about exactly how much power/torque their particular engine makes because I'll likely never build a carbon copy of what they did...

They took one of the project cars to Road Atlanta this weekend to do some testing. There should be some news soon. Remember, all good things take time.

How very true. Perhaps the reason there is so much testing.

Testing is fine... just spill the beans on the block details and the bore/stroke!
