There are a couple posts here, search using "swap".

You will need engine mounts from a 301 out of a Gbody.

Do not use TA mounts,they raise the engine too much.

Right now you are limited to stock logs,Ram Air manifolds or custom headers.

3 tube headers are reported to work with some tweaking,I never did it so can't say for sure.

It has been done before with great results.

I have a destroked 625 horse 455 in my GP race car.

What are your/his goals for the car?

as much power as possible....being a sunday driver 8)

low 9's high 8's in the 1/4

Sunday driver that runs 8s, no problem.

He does have a tall wallet ,right? :lol:

Sell the 455, pick up a 600 cu in IA block combo from Spotts Performance.
Have Paul stick a nice plate on it.

Scare ladies in the church parking lot on Sundays, turn the giggle juice on Friday/Saturday nights.
