I got this stroker SB running like a house afire but you can never have to much power, so I'm wondering which is the best bang for the buck a 454,maybe stroked or not, or a blown SB. And of course the questions that goes with that.
Do all 454's interchange? I know some other blocks have car or truck deck heights. What about the 454?

The people that have stoked a 454,have you had any problems? I know that when an SB is stroked the 4 bolt is the preferance to avoid "cap walk". What about the 2 bolts of the 454 or do you just keep the RPM down where it dont matter?

The most common 454 block around here is mobile homes,any issues with them?

I like the look of a blown engine but the cost short and long term is more, and if I ever sell the car, that hoods got that hole which will be used to dick price.

As you all can see I'm leaning 454. I'm on a budget and it lends itself a lot more to doing it piece meal as I can afford. So my last question is what about net gains? My little stroker is all about low end response and torque. How much does that 60 cubes give a fella right down low?And how is tuning a 454 compared to a SBC? Cause with this thing being so well tuned I dont wanta end up in a situation where a BB is harder to draw power from and tune so I end up 7-8000$ into something that has me wishing my 383 were back in there
