They share nothing with the 307, 350 or 403. The 394 was a member of the first generation Rockets made from 1949-1964. They were hot in their day and inspired (along with the Cadillacs) the original SBC. Parts are out there but there is little aftermarket support. Expect to pay Pontiac prices for multi-carb intakes. The bellhousing is also different from our "modern" BOP or Chevy patterns so you have to get creative or use 60 year old transmissions. I wouldn't really recommend it for a Gbody. Kind of like putting a flathead in a Mustang. They're cool engines but I think they belong in traditional hot rods or in their original vehicles.
Not sure on motor mounts, exhaust for G-Body, but if you want to "build" that 394, then contact Ross Racing Engines! From new Aluminum heads, to dbl roller timing chains, etc
