Those 1973-74 454's are the best years of building a great street/strip 454. The #049 cylinder heads are the best cast iron oval-port heads the General ever produced. As far as the block, it is NOT a tall deck. Real quick here.......have a good cylinder head shop fit those heads with the larger 2.19/1.88 Manley Valves (the cheapest ones!) and some very minor port work, a Comp Cams 288 Street Solid Roller, a set of forged TRW's, Edelbrock Performer RPM and an 850 Holley and you've 550-560 horsepower. You have my favorite foundation for a great 468 CID that'll tear your head off from idle to 6500 RPM and probably cost you your drivers's license if you're not careful!

Thanks for the help with the info guys. I do not need this motor anymore and will be selling it. I wanted to find out more about this motor before selling it. What is the motor worth??? Its complete minus the carb and distributor. Has a edelbrok open plenum intake and edelbrok valve covers. Thanks Andrew.
