Re: switching from a 350 to a 454 engine-need advice

If it's "really lacking in power", fix whatever is wrong. It's probably something simple. The added weight of the 454, bigger tranny, heavier springs, etc. doesn't make for a very big increase in acceleration, and it'll suck down a lot more gas. If I were you, I'd improve the 350. Put on some headers, intake, K&N.... You probably could even put a supercharger/turbo on for the price of everythign you'd need to put in a 454.
