Curiosity about the 454....
I have done searches and couldn't find any numbers on what the stock 454 TBI. Such as horsepower, torque, what is the gas mileage in a f-body(I imagine it is bad.)
This is just to solve some question I had on this motor.
thanks in advance.

If those power numbers seem low, remember that the rpm for peak power was an absurdly low 3600 rpm, and the peak torque numbers occured at 1600-2000 rpm, IIRC. Nothing about the 454 L19 engine was for power ---- it was all about low rpm torque.
