since i havent bought a rotating assembly yet this would be a good time to figure out what i want to do, either buy a tall deck or stay with my 454 and build a smaller cubic inch bb.

so please leave your comments to yourself if there not helpful.

Go with your 454 block. Get a 496 kit or however much you need to bore the block to clean up the cylinders correctly. I can give you my build sheet on my engine and you can match it. It is hyd roller though. Sell that tall deck Dart intake. Should be able to get your money back or more on the intake. I went 100 over on mine because I broke an oil ring and it scored one cylinder pretty deep. I like the sound of 505 anyway....
