I would hardly call a 454 a car motor, although I know they did put them in cars. I had a 454 in a hd.3/4 Chev crewcab. I put over 150,000 miles on it ,a half of that was pulling a tri/axle flat deck load up or my fifth wheel camper. I parked it when the tranny finally gave out but the engine still runs fine. They have the same size brgs on the crank as a 366/427 but have much larger valves etc. and so are capable of much more hp. I rebuilt and installed a 427 with a quadra-Jet carb, into a one ton of a friend of mine. He has a four speed standard. My crew cab would leave him in the dust pulling equal loads. They are the same block just milled different, and drilled for 7/16 bolts instead of 3/8s. You can bolt a 454 water pump onto a 427 just by drilling out the bolt holes in the pump.The 454 exhaust manifolds bolt right on to a 427. 366/427 intake is designed for more coolant flow for the Medium Duty application plus they won't put out near the hp. of the 454 so they last longer. I agree that if you drive a 454 on the rug all the time it would have a relative short life. That's why a 366 is so tough, because it puts out so much less hp. on the same size brgs. etc.The distibutor out of a 454, also works in a 427 makes it sound like a 350 or 454 idling. Need I say more!!
