As far as cost goes, I just did a rebuild on a 400 and the parts cost easily double what it would have been for
A 350. I don't even want to know what a 454 would cost.

Why did your 400 parts cost double what a 350 was? Small block pistons are all the same price as are rods, same with a new crank. Machine work is all the same as well...
