Important Notes

Original items such as manifolds, accessories, mounts, etc. can be transferred to a 454 HO engine, when installed in a vehicle that was originally equipped with a big block. However, there may be some dissimilar components between a 454 HO engine and an older big block.

Installing this engine in a vehicle not originally equipped with a big block engine may require modifications or additional components not included, such as fabricating various components for the cooling, fuel, electrical, and exhaust systems.
