First of all i must say im a ford person. I dont want to affend any bowties out there, but i dont think the 454 is a very impressive motor considering other choices out there. Im in the process of planning out my kit and struggled with the idea of a 460. its 140 lbs. heavier than a 302 but u get 500 hp straight from ford in a stock motor for around 5000.00. Mpg is all in ur gearing and tranny a simple 6 spd will fix the mpg. after researching the 460 and 302 i feel i will end up with a stroked 302 long block from DSS for 3400.00 the parts are very reasonable for the motor and if power is needed a simple pro charger upgrade can easily be done. jus my 2 cents
