I'll never own a super car. It's just out of my league. If I did have the opportunity to own one I would want the 427. When I built the 427 for my Camaro I had all of the parts to build a 454, but chose 427 instead. To me the 427 numbers are associated to high performance and racing much more than 454. When I think of a 454 I usually think of a truck engine, although the Chevelle LS6 is a great high performance engine.

When I think of 454, I think of LS6 Chevelle!

Freddy, I did the same thing. I had 1970 512 block 454 and traded a perfect steel 454 crank for a 427 crank. The guy thought i was nuts. Sold the motor to buy a compressor. Now im having a 454 built to put in the Camaro.
I think the couple of converted 454 1969 Camaros are really off the hook cool.
