Is the 14015445 cast block the same as the 1990 454SS?
According to Mark (VortecPro), the last year or so of the 14015445 block was the same as they used in the 1990 454SS trucks and it’s a thick block, one of the ones he prefers. I hope I’m quoting that right, it’s from my old memory.

Can a 4 bolt block be cast as a 445?
Take the 445 if it’s a 4 bolt. ARP STUDS, forged crank, h-beams and forged pistons and you should be pretty close to “bullet-proof”. Mines .060″ over bored and still over a 1/4″ thick on the walls. Sorry, jetblue69, but even the two-bolt blocks have the “445” and “hi perf” cast into ’em.
