Thanks for all the info guys. I'm buying marine parts for the boat. It is freezing here in New Jersey. 1 to 3 inches of snow expected tonight. Can't wait for spring.Now the boat sits.

You may want to consider an intake manifold (dual plane) and carb change along with it to like a 750 holley.http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-11-236-4/
Does a high rise manifold do much for performance??
What is the stock CFM og a 454 magnum?? I assume around 500 CFM??

currently building my stock 454 330 hp went to 9.5 to1 compression .60 over ,comp cam, had jet performance rejet the stock carb to stage 2 jets should push 400 to420 hp. all for the low low price of about 4 grand. now watch that alpha drive fry.

A higher rise manifold will help with air flow.
Stock carb cfm for all standard 454's and 502's is 750cfm.
