    a very mild 454 can get you 400HP you need to know pistons part numbers and that shape the block is in and for size to know fitment of pistons KB HYper pistons will need more top ring end gap . as for rods . good rebuilt rods can take 500+ EZ all day better rods are out there as well . bolts ARP sell them .cam not realy a big deal but all parts need to fit and match so you would be better taking it to a machine shop and have them look at what you have and need
