Engine and 700R4 Automatic Transmission 563 Horsepower Standard Edition Builder Series Polished Pulley Kit Carbureted for customers looking for a complete high-performance drivetrain package combining big cubic inch small block power with the convenience of an automatic overdrive transmission. This engine and transmission combination is designed for classic muscle car restorations, custom street builds, pro-touring vehicles, and performance applications requiring strong horsepower, torque, and dependable drivability.

The B454K700 features a 454 cubic inch GM Small Block compatible engine producing 563 horsepower and 542 ft.-lbs. of torque. This carbureted performance package combines a large-displacement small block engine with a 700R4 automatic transmission, providing strong acceleration, excellent torque production, and overdrive capability for improved highway cruising.

Built around a high-performance small block platform, this 454 c.i. engine features a high-strength cast iron block, 4.185-inch bore, 4.125-inch stroke forged steel crankshaft, forged pistons, forged connecting rods, aluminum cylinder heads, hydraulic roller camshaft, 1-piece rear main seal, and 4-bolt main configuration. The carbureted fuel system provides a traditional muscle car setup with straightforward tuning and installation flexibility for many custom applications.

The included 700R4 automatic transmission provides a durable overdrive solution for street performance vehicles. The overdrive gear helps reduce engine RPM during highway driving while maintaining strong performance capability. The polished pulley kit adds a finished appearance to custom engine compartments where both performance and presentation are important.

The B454K700 is designed for builders who want a complete engine and transmission package instead of sourcing individual drivetrain components separately.
