You can call the local engine shop with your block numbers to find out witch engine you have, better to be safe than sorry later down the road. I run a 454 bigblock and they are great but they need careful bottom end work. Goodluck Eddie 66ss conv.

The 454 didn't appear until 1970.

I would say you should go with the 105 torque number.

I have IV Generation 454ci with a 2 bolt main. I'm going to pull the main caps to check the bearings. the chiltons says to torque them to 105ft.lbs then it has a foot note that if its a 1966-67 4 bolt its 115ftlbs, 1966-68 , 2 bolt-95 ftlbs. I am not sure what year the motor is, would it be safe to assume my motors main caps should be torqued to 105 ft lbs ? Jimmy C.
