i rly think you should put a blower on the 454

i would go with a 454 LS7 probly blown

wow this is old, it has a blown 454 mated to a 700r4 trans and runs 12's on street tires its also been painted a weired purple color (wasnt my idea)

I dont know if the 700r4 was a good choice for a tranny unless it was really built up for a big block. But put some slicks on that thing and get it in the 11's. Oh and what are the specs on the engine??

you didnt mention if the car is a sb or bb car, while there is no substitution for cubic inches, i would purchase a crate motor for ie bill mitchell or world products, for example. if the car is a factory sb, he offers 454 cid sb chevy motors, with very impressive numbers. check the website as he offers bb chevys too. i ve been around drag cars for most of my life, and although they are intimidating, ive never seen a blower car that was very fast.

the hemi is great in a mopar, buddy had a 526, and it was nasty in his roadrunner, 650's eight mile on street tires thru the mufflers. but we were talkin about a chevy.
