Had a 93 pace arrow with the 454, same miss at load and higher rpm..turned out to be weakened valve springs allowing the valves to float at higher rpm...only 2800+. diagnosis trick was to learn that the backfire was back into the intake plenum.

Changed Manual fuel pump and filter and problem seems to be gone.
