Mike, What I told Dave is this: He's living in the middle of Div 3, with F,G, and H cars all around him. He'll be getting his *** handed to him in heads up runs regularly, if he goes any rounds. I never really analyzed the engine combo ,per se .
My concern was with the classes it would run, the overall size of the car (wind resistance, bigger transmission needed ,etc) and the fact that I don't believe you'd ever see 1.44 60 footers , like you do with some of the good 305 Camaro H cars.
The 454 is probably a good motor, just not in that particular type of car, IMHO
