Ls 454
I saw something somewhere the other day and can't find it again. Does this thing really live or was I just dreaming.
Anyone got any skinny on this engine, reliability, dynos, yada?

We have several 447's out there now, for a non boosted application it could go slightly bigger on the bore for a 454. But why?

There is a company that makes a deck plate for the LSX series block for a maximum displacement of 499ci.. :O
I'll have to dig up the name, will get back on that.
Edit: ERL Performance makes them.

There is no appreciable difference in 447 and 454. In fact the 447 may have some pros depending on cooling, head gaskets, ability to FI, dependibility, yada.
Do you have a link to your engine, Doug?
