Did Chevy ever use the 454 engine in Nascar history?

... I know there were some big blocks used by certain manufactures but never heard anything about the 454.

Chevy used the 427 mystery engine in 63 (the first canted valve big block mark engine) and came back with the regular 396 (bored to 427) in 65 and 427 mark II engine in 66.

If I remember correctly the maximum engine size was 7 liters (427 cu in) plus slight overbore for rebuilds. I don't believe 454's were ever legal.
