weight difference 454 &540
#6
If anything, a 540 reg deck should be lighter than a 454 due to less cylinder wall. Sure the crank weighs marginally more due to the longer stroke, and the pistons are slightly heavier, but the net should be lighter.

only difference is the block may be a little heaver and the crank will be a little heaver maybe 20 lbs total. For a block to go out to 4.5 bore it is going to be ether a after market block ,a bow tie block or a high nickle mk 5 or 6 502 block all of which are a little heaver then a 454 block
