All I can say is my '70 Chevelle 454 dusted every Dodge/Chrysler, Ford/Mercury variant out there... Chargers, Challengers, Imperials, Mustangs, Mach I, Boss. It didn't matter, but the Hellcat would be too much.
You must have lived on the slow side of town or maybe it was the brand you were smoking back then. I guess you never ran against the chrysler 440 's or the Ford 428 cobra jets. The 454 was then and still is a dog of a motor.
Yes the vehicles listed above had 440's and 428's... That 454 dusted them including some Chevelles with some modified small blocks. I never ran a 426 Hemi, but we do know the Hellcat Challenger is faster.
That particular 454 had high compression and solid lifters from the factory. The only factory car that I remember that could really compete was a Buick GNX 455.
