- 454 Crusaders
The 454350HP Crusaders will be coming out for overhaul in Sept. One developed an internal rap on Sunday, most likely a wrist pin or rod bearing. Anyway are there any CSR members that have had their 454's rebuilt with some extra HP and with what results? The 454's in a 390 are borderline adequate and I would like to get them up to 380-400HP with some minor modifications. I am fortunate to have 3 qualified machine shops around Boston that I know will do a good job on the motors but I am curious if any of you have done this type of modification and what were the results.
