Title: 500 caddy vs 454 chevy
Post by: hollywoodhillbilly on October 06, 2013, 01:18:53 AM
Which would be the better of the 2 to build. Im wanting 11 ish compression. Turn 6000-7500 ish. And put it in a truck with a turbo 400 trans and np205 transfer case and be turning 35s

The caddi block isnt strong enough and youd have a heck of a time not breaking cranks. Go 454 and youl be happy
