sorry... never heard any I4 bike sound ANYTHING like a 454...

the feeling I get is about the same, even if they dont really sound even close to the same. I dont know how to describe my love of the carbed I4 motor's sound. I'm not sure exactly what it is, but its something special that I love. you should hear a 75 CB550 runnin a 4:1 header and nothing else, its pretty sweet, even if it is loud.

The Vmax is one of the best sounding bikes made! V4s rule. V-twins are more like big blocks Tons of torqe. The in line fours are more quick reving like a small block.

I thought I was gonna bump to a 1k one day. then i did a track day on my 600. I'll never need a 1k.

Most of the time you can mount the back of the engine and then tilt up. I have also on a track bike layed the engine on its side and then layed the bike on top of it and picked them both up after the engine was in.

You may want to look into a chain kit that is a different size a 520 with steel front and rear would hold that engine it does not have that much power by todays standards.

tilting the rear motor mount in first was my original intent, doesnt work cause the shifter shaft hits the frame first, and laying this thing on its side is much easier said than done, this thing weighs 600 pounds and is topheavy.

I dont plan to convert to a 520 chain, I really feel its WAY TOO light for this motor. by todays standards this thing is still powerful to me. 70+ft/lb of torque is nothing to laugh at I dont think. and yes this bike actually has that much torque, no 520 for me. plus I have a hell of a time finding anything other than 530 conversion sprockets for this thing.

My Motion Pro Jumbo chain breaker only goes up to 530. I'll probably go with a 530 conversion if I have to.

I got a dremel and some special tools, I'm good.
