Re: Engine swap for a dependable k20 driver

a 454 is a pretty durable engine. pretty beefy parts even stock. a well built, well maintained big block with quality rings and bearings, good double roller, and roller cam will most likely last every bit as long as the ls engines. and have a boat load more torque.
