A 496 is a completely different block from the 454/502 BBC's

But you can stroke out a 454 to a 496.

true.

You can stroke a 454 to "496".

But if you have a newer ("real") 496, the heads are different, the deck height is different, and the block is different. etc

Are the actual 496 heads deck block better?
