those extra cubes had to help
By blinker - 01/30/2004 3:03:58 AM; IP 64.12.97.6
and remember in 1970 Chevy took aim on a already established target,one still here the 428, and one already gone, the 427. The factory ratings mean diddly squat. I'd say on a hp per cubic inch basis, the 428was about as good as the Ls6. And the 427 was probably a little better. I think thats why you saw 454's, 455's in 1970, not because they necessarily wanted to build them, but because they were getting the crap beat out of them by 428's and 440's.
And don't forget starting in the 1980's the musclecar magazines touted the 455 Stage 1 Buick as the quickest of all, with that massive torque at low rpm's. I never heard much performance info on a built 454 FE, but would ot be suprised if it woould have been quicker than a LS 6.
This thread, so far...
