If not tuned right the Chevy Big Blocks would be a dog I have been told but if they set up right they just would not quite pulling even at low RPM's. I have no complaints about our 454 TBI in the MH and it was only rated at around 210 HP I think. It got us up the Old Priest Run going into Yosemite NP when we took it by mistake. That was a four mile grind at WOT in 1st gear going about 15 mile per hour and I was thankful we had the smaller metric tires to boot.
The Chevy big block era started like 45+ years ago add a long run and are past tense for the most part as daily drivers but still make for great trucks.
