I don't think so? These have rec port iron heads, 800 Holley, say 420 on the finned alum valve covers. Will have to tear into one to figure it out, or "try" to get the Build Sheet from CK Motorsports, the port motor has NEW Crank, etc....If they are indeed just 454's...they WILL go back in as 496! Hyd Roller cam, etc...

I did a roller cam and aluminum heads, there's a nice write up in the formula section. I documented everything with photos along the way so might be beneficial for you to check that out.





Same boat I have! Mine is the red/black version
