> [@Can I tow a car trailer with a truck from Enterprise?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/can-i-tow-a-car-trailer-with-a-truck-from-enterprise/39801/12): > > (older the better) What do you intend to do with it? For the most part, 454’s are the same from 1970-1990 & they are considered Mark IV. Most everything interchanges between all years. The Mark IV has a 2 piece rear main seal & the later ones have weak cranks. Mine is a 1990 & the crank & 1 piston broke when it had 26K miles on it. The last 2 or 3 years of the Mark IV production motors were junk (Brian will tell you all BBC’s are junk). 1991 & up production 454’s are Mark V & do not have a provision for mechanical fuel pump. Also have 1pc rear main seal & many other small changes. Some issues can occur if putting Mark IV components on Mark V blocks. Not impossible, though. The aftermarket has supported the Mark V pretty well. The Mark VI has all the benefits of the Mark V plus a mechanical fuel pump boss. I am not positive if there ever was a Mark VI ‘production’ 454ci block. I think the 496 (8.1L) are all Mark VI. Brian can probably confirm this. That 496 short block is a steal for $500. ---

I’m not up on the Mk 6 stuff, but I believe that is why the Mk 6 exists. The Mk 5 caused some interchangeablility issues, but the aftermarket responded to it. I think the Mk 6 is a mix of Mk 4 & Mk 5. ---
