What liter is a 454?

For decades, automotive enthusiasts have revered the power and performance of the 454 V8 engine, synonymous with General Motors’ muscle cars and trucks. Clocking in at a staggering 7.4 liters, this powerhouse of an engine has been a hallmark of GM’s lineup. Similarly, Ford boasted its own behemoth with the 460 V8, tipping the scales at 7.5 liters. These engines were the epitome of American automotive engineering, delivering raw power and torque that defined an era.

In 1999, however, Ford made a significant shift with the introduction of the 6.8-liter V10 engine in its Super Duty pickups, bidding farewell to the 460 V8. This move marked a transition towards more efficient and modern powertrains, reflecting changing consumer demands and environmental concerns. Meanwhile, the 454 V8 from GM continued its legacy, remaining a stalwart choice for those seeking uncompromising performance in their vehicles.

As automotive technology evolves, the era of massive displacement engines like the 454 and 460 gives way to more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly alternatives. While these engines hold a special place in the hearts of enthusiasts, the future lies in smaller, more efficient powerplants. Nonetheless, the legacy of the 454 and 460 V8 engines will forever be etched in the annals of automotive history, representing a golden age of American muscle.
